It is for this reason that we also make sure that we remain in touch with corporate and industry so that we can supply the job market with work-ready candidates who will fit into hard-to-fill vacancies. Sunet Stemmet of Boston Bloemfontein discusses some current scarce skills, and how Boston can fill the gap!

- [Career Compass Guides the way to Success](https://www.boston.ac.za/blog/career-compass-guides-the-way-to-success/): Recent research has indicated that prospective tertiary education students are not confident about their career choices.  Schools do not have the resources they need to assist learners with career investigation, and in addition, they have to focus their time and efforts on the academic material for exams –they don’t have the luxury of spending time advising on careers. It is in this environment that learners have to make a choice and finalise applications!  I can also say from experience – when you are in first year you are overwhelmed, studies are very difficult at a tertiary level, and we land up questioning whether the effort required matches our passion for the industry we have selected!
- [Our training advisors and consultants are the backbone of support for our students.](https://www.boston.ac.za/blog/our-training-advisors-and-consultants-are-the-backbone-of-support-for-our-students/): As a leading provider of tertiary education in South Africa, Boston believes that just offering qualifications is only half of its job – the other half is ensuring that its students have the knowledge and support to make the right career choice. Boston is very focussed on ensuring a match between interests and skills, to a career or industry. As training advisors, we believe firmly that when a student is guided towards the correct qualification that is appropriate to his or her interests, as well as ability, time constraints and financial commitment, the chance of success in the qualification and subsequent career and/or employment increases significantly.

- [Why should we add to our stresses by studying now?](https://www.boston.ac.za/blog/why-should-we-add-to-our-stresses-by-studying-now/): Our world and environments, working and personal spaces, have changed so dramatically and so rapidly that we have been left reeling in shock, and scrambling to adapt. Many people are just trying to ‘hang in there’ and wait for a return to what used to be.  Taryn Strydom of Boston City Campus believes that we will not be returning to ‘normal’. “Currently workplaces that are operational have many protocols that must be observed, including encouraging as many people as possible to work from home. Businesses, in order to survive, have had to change their services, products, and the way that they are offered in order to continue to survive, and hopefully thrive.”  Taryn continues explaining that many service providers such as hairdressers and nail technicians have been prevented from offering their services for four months. The staff of liquor stores do not know if they will have a job to go back to. Therefore in planning for a world post-lockdown, the very best thing that you can do right now is upskill yourself so that you have new and relevant skills to offer an employer, or a community should you decide to open your own business.

Techies are most likely always on call. But networking is really only glamorous to people in the field.

One might agree that the man who is Head of State of America must have management savvy – which Obama has in great supply, despite never having completed a degree in management or commerce. Both Bill Gates and Elon Musk are future-thinking leaders in technology and command great wealth, and both are proud and active philanthropists. These are globally influential people who are astute in their fields, and all value something much more than business acumen only. They understand “what people want/need”.
- [Benefits of online higher education in 2020](https://www.boston.ac.za/blog/benefits-of-online-higher-education-in-2020/): While many institutions grapple with a sudden and dramatic shift to online learning, provision of technology-mediated learning is in our DNA. Boston City Campus & Business College has decades of experience in this modality of provision. “That Covid-19 will have a transformative impact on the way learning happens within the universities seems indisputable. The most dramatic evidence of this is the shift to online learning” (Habib and Valodia, 2020). While the emergency remote teaching (Hodges et al., 2020) deployed during the first half of 2020 was restructured in haste and lacked the proper pedagogical construction for online learning (Habib and Valodia, 2020), Boston has carefully curated its teaching and learning materials to be durable, reliable, cutting-edge and most importantly constructively-aligned for a seamless and coherent student learning experience.

To go from zero to hero in business, you need real business know-how and tenacity as we have seen in the case of our great businessmen like the late Sol Kerzner in hospitality, Richard Maponya in diversified business and Mark Shuttleworth in IT”. Kerzner didn’t invent hotels; they existed for ages before he appeared on the scene. But through hard work, business ingenuity, and creativity he took hotels and hospitality to another level.  With business acumen and practical skills, start-up businesses and part-time ways to earn money can be developed into sustainable businesses. The Chocolate Den situated in Edenvale is a small business that has slowly grown in various aspects such as service and online availability. During the Corona lockdown they have offered free online training in various skills that can be used to start your OWN small business! And the ‘tools’ required can be ordered online. Excellent adaptability to not only grow their own business, but assist others to create their own small home business that can be run from home. All you need are your small business owner skills.

- [Reaching Out, Student Perspectives Bedfordview Shannon](https://www.boston.ac.za/blog/reaching-out-student-perspectives-bedfordview-shannon/): As I write this, it is day 20 of the nation-wide lockdown and although many things have changed such as our ability to move around, restrictions on who we can and cannot see and trying times ahead economically, the one thing that has been a stable constant for me has been my studies. The transition into the lockdown was seamless as I have been able to continue my studies just as I was doing so before, working through course material, completing my assignments and uploading them online and being able to study for the upcoming exams. The amazing team at my Boston Bedfordview support centre have also made this change much easier as we get updates and support from all the staff. Whether this is through continued communication through WhatsApp or personal phone calls about important updates, or through the use of the online student wellness module that includes supportive and motivational articles about how each student can personally deal with this situation. Boston truly puts immense effort into taking care of their students and continuing excellence in the learning experience through trying times.

So, says Oriellah Davis, BCom graduate of Boston City Campus. “After school, there are so many opportunities staring students straight in the face, however, there always is that daunting question about “What it is you really want to do after school?” How many of us really have the answer to that question? I’m guessing not many. It is because of that daunting question that I found myself enrolling at Boston to begin my tertiary schooling career, and although having no clue as to what it was I wanted I was able to find it through my educational journey at Boston”

At Boston City Campus & Business College, we try and build ethical behaviour into each of our academic modules. Not only do we wish to teach and lead by example, but also to imbue this ethical behaviour in the working and home lives of our learners. Says Ian Becker, “ethical behaviour can be as big as walking away from a one hundred million rand deal when you realise that the ease with which you will be making money is just too good to be true – in which case it is!  Or it can be as small as realising you’ve paid for one Coke, but been given two – and then returning the extra.”
