Career App.tizer

The Career App.tizer app takes conventional career exploration to the next level

The Career App.tizer is a career exploration tool aimed at high school learners! As the name suggests it aims to get high school learners to start exploring different courses and careers offered by the University of Pretoria (UP). The Career App.tizer will introduce learners to their career interests with an online career interest survey; map their interests to courses offered by UP and link courses to careers. In addition learners can explore additional careers on goStudy South Africa. Learners are also able to enter their high school subject results, which are converted into the Admission Point Score used by UP. This information is subsequently paired with the requirements of courses and gives prospective students an indication of whether they qualify for the course or not. The app was developed by staff from the Department for Education Innovation together with students from the Department of Informatics at UP with funding from The Kresge Foundation: Siyaphumelela programme.
