Our world is full of interesting occupations. The activity that follows
asks you to explore a few of them.
Were some parts of these learning activities difficult to do? Sometimes,
because we are familiar with an occupation, we think we know more
about it than we actually do. It is important that we research new
careers we may hear about, but also that we pay attention to the work
that people do around us: watching what people do and asking lots of
questions.

Sources of Information
Below a listed possible sources of information about careers.
How many of the following possibilities did you include?
• Local libraries.
• Media advertising (newspapers, magazines, radio, TV).
• Government labour office.
• Shopping markets with bulletin boards for advertising.
• Local non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in your
community.
• Churches (the priest, minister, or pastor may be able to help).
• Employment bureaus (for example, TEBA for miners).
• Friends who have careers.
• Current employees of an organisation (a farmer, business person,
medical doctor, teacher, builder, radio announcer, etc.).
• Past employees of an organisation.
• Paying visits to an organisation of your career interest (such
as a hospital for a physiotherapist, radiographer, or nurse).
• From work sites in the immediate community (such as at a
mosque, church, school, or farm).
• Professionals (pilot, engineer, lawyer, etc.).
• Job attachments (such as working with a construction company).
• Internet websites.
As a caregiver, you need to familiarise yourself with these sources so
that you are able to direct children and youth to them when they
require more information than you can give them. You can help them
develop skills in reading, writing, making calls, and searching the internet
to find information on job opportunities.
