About the Career Guidance and College Preparedness (CGCP) Course

Our CGCP course, a one-week program, is a transformative journey designed specifically for post-secondary school students in Malawi. The program offers a unique opportunity for students to explore their potential, sharpen essential skills, and lay a solid foundation for their future. If a student is still discovering their interests or already has a clear vision for their future, the CGCP Course will guide them every step of the way.

We believe that every student’s journey is unique, and that’s why our course is tailored to accommodate all academic abilities and aspirations! This isn’t just about choosing a university, college or a TVET course — it’s about embarking on a journey of self-discovery, career exploration and then connect these with real-world opportunities. Through this process, students gain the clarity and confidence needed to make informed decisions about their future.

This course helps bridge the gap between secondary school and university by building self-awareness, academic readiness, and practical soft skills.
