‘After school’ brings career guidance to vibrant, animated life. The 28-episode career guidance series being flighted on social media platforms is INSETA’s innovative initiative to take advantage of the increasing use of mobile phones and internet among the youth. The series, produced in partnership with non-profit organisation, CA Classes, is set in a school environment in Sandton, the financial hub of South Africa. The characters range from poor to wealthy and the episodes cover topics such as career options in the insurance sector and the importance of maths and science. Input into the content was provided by industry stakeholders such as the Financial Planning Institute, the Actuarial Society and Sanlam.

After School, which carries the message that background and circumstances aside, anyone can achieve anything in life with hard work, relies on sound, humour and visual content to appeal to viewers. Since its launch in November 2019, the series has had more than 4 million views across YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. www.careerdirectionafterschool.co.za
