ALTERNATIVE AND NON-ACADEMIC CAREERS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE. 

When I was young..a whiles ago..possible careers included Medicine, Teaching, Law, working in the Bank.....and that was about it!!

Nowadays, young people leaving school are spoiled for choice. No longer do they need to attend a university in order to prepare for a job, but so many novel and exciting courses are available in creative and innovative career fields.

We will be presenting some of the exciting careers available in various different categories. Today we start with Sound Engineering, TV and Film Production.

Rewarding Careers in Education and Training

Teaching was one of mankind's original and noble professions. It is also one of the most challenging, requiring an active and versatile mind, a deep love for one’s subject, and not least, the desire to assist others in learning, growing and finding their own unique place in the world.

It is never boring, always different, often frustrating, sometimes amazing beyond all words.

Too few people realise the fulfilment that teaching brings, therefore they tend to choose other options for their careers. Who would not love to work with young and adult minds hungry for knowledge and acknowledgement? This is one area of life which offers opportunities to make a lasting positive difference in the lives of countless people who pass through one’s classes over the years. I think that teachers must have hundreds of friends!

There are various places where one can be trained to be a teacher. The following list provides suggestions for studying both mainstream and alternative education methods.

Delicious Cookery Courses

 

Cookery is the buzz word nowadays. We all sit glued to our TV screens watching the likes of Gordon Ramsay, Jamie Oliver and Nigella Lawson cooking up a storm. We have become addicted to the Top Chef series, where we witness the contestants being grilled, seared and boiled in oil, where we regret the woebegone warriors being told one by one to "pack your knives and go!" until one courageous champion emerges Top Chef!

There are numerous ways of learning to become a cook: from one-day workshops to full-time year-long courses.

Here are some which are available in Cape Town:

1.FALSE BAY COLLEGE

  • Where you can find it:

Muizenberg Campus

021 788 8373

2.PICK n PAY SCHOOL OF COOKING

     

  • What you can do:

    Classes cater for all ages and all levels of expertise. You don’t need to know a lot about cooking and baking, and you don’t need to be serious about food. All you need is a desire to try something new.

    The Good Food Studio is a unique learning environment for casual ‘hands-on’ cookery courses. This means you get your hands busy in lessons that are informative, creative and good clean fun! The cooking ‘classroom’ is a beautifully fitted and equipped professional kitchen and accommodates 12 students, who have ranged from 6 years to 76 years young, at their own stations. Lessons take place weekly, either in the mornings or evenings. Courses vary in length from one single lesson to eight lessons.

    The classes are taught by a team of professionally trained and experienced tutors, and all ingredients and course materials are included in the fee.
