After finishing high school, every form four graduate hopes to enroll in college and pursue a degree program in a field of interest. But they don’t realize that enrolling in a degree program does not ensure that you will get a job right away that pays well after you graduate.
Despite having completed form four with grades that qualify them for admission to universities, some students choose to enroll in diploma programs at technical institutes and TVETs since some of these programs promise a better future following graduation.
