CRET’s Life After School Sessions
Leaving school is one of the biggest milestones in a young person’s life, exciting but also filled with questions and uncertainty.
That is why CRET created CLASS (CRET’s Life After School Sessions), a career guidance initiative designed for Grade 10 to 12 learners.
Through CLASS, we help young people explore their career options, prepare for the transition from school to adulthood, and gain confidence in planning their next steps, whether that is university, college, vocational training, entrepreneurship, or employment.
Choosing a career path can be overwhelming, especially when learners face pressure from family expectations, financial constraints, or uncertainty about what is possible.

As part of the CLASS initiative, CRET has developed a Career Guidance Booklet, a practical resource that helps learners and their guardians navigate post-school choices.

At CRET, we believe every young person deserves the tools and support to succeed, no matter their background. Through CLASS and the Life After School Guidebook, we aim to help learners dream boldly, plan wisely, and step confidently into their future.
