Kagiso Trust introduces the Makers of the Future toolkit, a free resource to help Class of 2026 learners manage matric stress, explore post-school options, and build a strategic study plan. The toolkit offers guidance on university, TVET colleges, learnerships, and more, emphasizing consistent effort over cramming.
As the Class of 2026 gears up for their matriculation year, Kagiso Trust has introduced a comprehensive, free downloadable toolkit aimed at empowering learners to navigate the challenges of their final school year and beyond.
The Makers of the Future toolkit provides a wide range of practical resources, including monthly planning guides, effective study techniques, exam preparation strategies, stress management tips, mental health support contacts, and detailed information on various post-matric pathways. Kagiso Trust CEO Mankodi Moitse highlighted that while many learners recognize the significance of their matric year, they often struggle with managing the associated pressures.
The toolkit addresses common challenges such as exam stress, understanding post-school options, and accessing funding, which learners typically face individually. Moitse emphasized that the toolkit promotes consistent and strategic study habits over last-minute cramming. Success in matric, she noted, is not achieved through round-the-clock studying but through sustained, well-planned effort. The toolkit also underscores that university is not the sole pathway after matric.
It presents alternative options such as TVET colleges, learnerships, direct employment, entrepreneurship, and structured gap years, tailored to each learner’s strengths and circumstances. Moitse pointed out that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to post-matric life, as different individuals thrive in different environments, whether through vocational training, higher education, or hands-on learning experiences. The guide includes valuable information on in-demand jobs, application timelines, NSFAS guidance, bursary opportunities, and contact details for South Africa’s TVET colleges.
Although primarily designed for learners, the toolkit is also a useful resource for parents, teachers, and community members who support young people during and after their matric year. Moitse stressed that while the toolkit provides essential tools, learners must take the initiative to use them. Building a successful future, she said, requires consistent effort, much like constructing a building one brick at a time.
The launch of the toolkit is part of Kagiso Trust’s ongoing advocacy campaign, which promotes skills-based education and TVET pathways as solutions to youth unemployment. The Makers of the Future toolkit is available for free download on the Kagiso Trust website at www.kagiso.org.za. This initiative aligns with broader efforts to equip young South Africans with the knowledge and resources they need to make informed decisions about their education and career paths
