This study investigated the career guidance needs of post-secondary learners who used the NQF and CAS Helpline during January 2014. The objectives-opportunities-constraints (OOC) theoretical framework of Dickenson and McIntosh (2010) was used to describe the career guidance needs of these learners. The documents from the NQF and CAS Helpline were purposefully selected and comprised transcripts of conversations that took place between the post-secondary school learners and advisors at the NQF and CAS Helpline and that were captured on the Insight 2 database. The data from the transcripts and research journal were deductively analysed, and three thematic categories were used to answer the research question. The learners requested information from the Helpline advisors on educational goals (including information on tertiary training institutions, on admission requirements for tertiary institutions, on the accreditation/registration of institutions, and on improving Grade 12 results) and on opportunities (such as learnerships and employment) in the post-secondary environment. They also requested support in overcoming constraints such as career confusion and financial challenges. The findings confirmed the need for a career helpline service to provide learners with career information and career guidance in order to help them achieve later career success. It is hoped that the study will raise awareness of the career guidance needs of postsecondary learners and also inform the training of advisors at the NQF and CAS Helpline. The findings may also shed light on strategies and interventions to assist learners with the career decision-making process at school and in the post-secondary environment. tm2016 es2026 Educational Psychology MEd Unrestricted SDG-04: Quality education SDG-08: Decent work and economic growth SDG-10: Reduced inequalities 2016-09-26T06:58:38Z 2016-09-26T06:58:38Z 2016-08-31 2016 Dissertation Singh, N 2016, Career guidance needs of post secondary learners who utilised a career advice services helpline, MEd Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/56921> S2016 http://hdl.handle.net/2263/56921 en © 2016 University of Pretoria.
