You don't need to have your future figured out. You just need to be willing to start.

Three Grade 11 learners standing together in warm afternoon light

Not the 100 smartest.

We're looking for 100 learners who are willing to take their future seriously.

Be honest with yourself

You probably know what career you want. But do you know how to get there?

Do you know what APS score your course requires?

Do you know which institutions offer your course?

Do you know what your backup option would be?

Do you understand NSFAS, bursaries and residence applications?

Have you spoken to someone who actually works in the career you're considering?

Do you know what you need to do during Grade 12?

That is what Club 100 is designed to help you figure out.

The four questions

Three months spent answering the questions that actually matter.

01

Who am I?

Strengths, interests, confidence and self-awareness.

02

What could I become?

Career exploration, university and TVET pathways, and conversations with students, graduates and professionals.

03

What will it take to get there?

Admission requirements, APS scores, institutions, Grade 12 goals, funding and application preparation.

04

What skills will I need along the way?

Financial literacy, computer skills, AI literacy, communication, leadership and wellbeing.

What we cover

Six pillars across three months.

Every session is practical. Learners leave each pillar knowing something they can actually use.

01

Discover Your Strengths

Learners complete a guided strengths-discovery activity and learn how their interests, natural strengths, school subjects and personality can influence career choices.

02

Explore Careers

Learners meet real people doing real work, so careers stop being job titles and start being something they can picture.

03

Understand Your Study Options

University is not the only legitimate route after school. Learners get a clear picture of every option available to them.

04

Prepare for Applications

Because learners are in Grade 11, this is application readiness — knowing exactly what is required and when, long before the deadlines hit.

05

Build Future Skills

Practical skills learners will use whether they go to university, a TVET college, a learnership or straight into work.

06

Leadership & Wellbeing

The part of growing up nobody formally teaches: how to speak, how to cope, and how to ask for help.

The three-month journey

Discover me. Prepare me. Position me.

  1. 1
    Month 1

    Discover Me

    Who am I and where could I go?

    Learners explore their strengths, interests, career possibilities and post-school pathways.

    Outcome: Three career pathways to investigate further.

  2. 2
    Month 2

    Prepare Me

    What skills will I need to succeed?

    Learners build financial, digital, AI, communication, leadership and personal-development skills while continuing to meet students, graduates and professionals.

    Outcome: Greater confidence and practical future-readiness.

  3. 3
    Month 3

    Position Me

    What exactly do I need to do next?

    Learners research institutions, entry requirements, funding and Grade 12 priorities.

    Outcome: Every learner creates their own Club 100 Post-School Roadmap.

Post-School Roadmap

Don't leave with motivation. Leave with a plan.

Every learner finishes Club 100 with their own written roadmap — not a certificate, a plan.

By the end, every learner can answer

  • What careers am I considering?
  • What qualifications do I need?
  • Where can I study?
  • What marks do I need?
  • How could I fund it?
  • What alternatives do I have?
  • What should I do during Grade 12?

NSFAS, bursaries, scholarships and what tertiary study realistically costs.
