| It was these statistics that awakened JumpStart to the urgent need for a school-leavers' supportive aid: a guide that would urge Grade 12 learners to remain in school; to manage their time, study effectively and prepare for examinations; to embrace further education if possible; to job-hunt purposefully and with
focus; to seriously consider self-employment and entrepreneurship; and to enhance their personal, social, intellectual, emotional and physical growth and development. |
