Student Connect Trust (SCOT) will hold a Career Guidance Workshop on January 24 in Harare, targeting students who have just accessed their Form 4 and Form 6 results.
The programme is designed to help young people make informed decisions about tertiary education and future career pathways.
The workshop, themed “Careers do not happen by chance, they are guided, nurtured and built,” will provide practical guidance on subject selection, career planning, and industry opportunities.
In an interview with Zimpapers, SCOT programmes manager Mr Roosevelt Kabudura said the initiative is meant to give clarity to students navigating the transition from secondary school to higher education.
“We want young people to understand that career pathways are not accidental but require deliberate guidance,” said Mr Kabudura.
“This workshop is about nurturing their potential and building their future with confidence.”
Mr Kabudura emphasised that the workshop will expose students to diverse career options and industries.
He said it will help them to connect their academic choices with real-world opportunities.
“Students often struggle with subject and course selection, and this programme will provide them with practical advice,” he said.
“We are creating a platform where they can ask questions and interact with experienced facilitators.”
He said that SCOT’s work is strongly aligned with national strategies that prioritise innovation, industrialisation, and youth empowerment.
“Our programmes resonate with Education 5.0, which calls for learning, research, and community impact,” he said.
“By guiding students, we are contributing to the broader national vision of human capital development.”
Mr Kabudura also highlighted SCOT’s commitment to addressing social challenges such as early child marriages and drug abuse through leadership and life skills training.
“We are not only preparing students for careers but also equipping them with resilience against social pressures,” he said.
“Our upcoming IGTRA Experience Camp in April is another example of how we integrate spiritual guidance and life skills into youth development.”
