Help Junior Achievement South Africa with 12 volunteers for IT industry career guidance and instructional support
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
JA South Africa is inviting IT industry mentors connect with 500 (35 students per programme) marginalised youth from Gauteng, Limpopo and the Western Cape who are currently participating in the Google IT Support Professional Certificate Programme. To share industry knowledge and information, provide coaching and mentorship, deliver virtual instructional support, including classroom module completion and other technical assistance. Volunteers will attend a briefing session prior to engaging with the students and JA South Africa support staff will be present to support volunteers during the sessions.
Helpful tips
Stay safe
- 1. Don’t pass any personal information to people you haven’t met offline before.
- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
- 4. Know where you’re going. If you’re headed off the beaten track or into an unfamiliar part of town, be sure you have directions and a GPS or map book.
- 5. If you feel unsafe, consult the person in charge and let him or her know.
- 6. Avoid wearing expensive jewellery: it could get damaged, lost or stolen.
- 7. Ask, ask, ask! If you’re worried about something or concerned about your safety in a certain situation, ask the person in charge.
