Psychologist Urges A-Level Students to Seek Career Guidance

Written by on January 13, 2025

Community psychologist Dr. Mthokozisi Moyo has called on A-level students and their parents to prioritize career guidance as they prepare to transition to university. The appeal comes in the wake of the release of A-level results, with many students now considering their next steps.

Dr. Moyo emphasized the importance of informed decision-making when selecting undergraduate programs, noting that a career is a long-term commitment. He encouraged students to follow their passions and interests rather than succumbing to societal or parental expectations.

He also urged parents to support their children in exploring their skills, values, and aspirations, cautioning against pressuring them into careers parents may have wanted but could not pursue.

Career guidance, he said, is key to aligning students’ strengths with fulfilling career paths.
