💨 Abstract

After completing matric, securing a first job can be challenging due to employers seeking experience. However, there are several ways to gain experience post-matric. The South African government offers platforms like SAYouth.mobi for job listings, learnerships, and internships. The National Youth Service and Youth Employment Service (YES) provide paid community service and work experience opportunities. Volunteering, job shadowing, and online courses can also enhance a CV.
