CareerPlanet is an initiative designed to contribute, meaningfully, towards the development of a skills pipeline for South Africa.

In practical terms, CareerPlanet has a mobile network of computers and trainers who setup in shopping malls for a week at a time and assist kids to understand the “world of work,” profile themselves and have their minds opened to opportunities that they may never have considered before.

CareerPlanet needed a way to manage all the profiles of the kids attending their mobile kiosks, and PersonL was a perfect fit.
We really liked the project and worked with Karin and her team to integrate PersonL seamlessly into the CareerPlanet website.

I (Peter) attended the CareerPlanet launch (held at Century City) along with Allan Pike of PersonL. It was amazing to see the vision coming together. Cameron Dugmore (MEC for Education in the Western Cape) spoke at the event and also expressed his strong support for the project.

I was very heartened to see the first bus load of kids arrive and begin using PersonL to profile themselves. In just the first day of luanch, CareerPlanet already had over 30 CV’s captured into their instance of PersonL.

This is what Karin had to say about the product: “”PersonL is the solution we have been looking for to enable Career Planet to accurately profile our members based on skills and interests. PersonL enables us to link our members with relevant career-related opportunities. By accurately identifying our members’ needs we are able to send targeted information relating to skills development and employment.”

It is all coming together…
