1. The Western Cape Education Department (WCED) is committed to ensuring that all learners receive all the information available regarding careers and career options.
2. In the Subject Assessment Guidelines (SAG) of January 2007, Life Orientation teachers are strongly encouraged to give learners access, as circumstances allow, to Certificate Tasks that will make a direct contribution to a learner's earning and learning potential.
3. A learner driver's licence has increasingly become a pre-requisite for employment and would be of value on a learner's Curriculum Vitae.

5. Schools are invited to contact Mr Schronen at 082 299 0689 or via e-mail at schronen@trafficsigns.co.za for more information. Further information can be obtained from the website: http://www.k53test.co.za.
