Fundi—a leading Education Finance specialist—has launched its innovative platform, FundiConnect, in a bid to provide students across South Africa with access to quality career guidance and study advice.
With over 1.2 million students enrolled in tertiary education, the need for reliable information on careers and studying is more important than ever before.
The launch comes as a response to the growing need for accessible, affordable, and trustworthy information on tertiary education and careers.

The platform offers:
- financing solutions,
- career tips (e.g. how to prepare for interviews)

- job opportunities, and
- employment sectors that are currently active.
Features of the Student Platform
With a user-friendly interface, the platform is accessible from any device and provides a range of features, including:
- A comprehensive database of resources that includes infographics and articles on a range of topics, such as: choosing the right course, university and career path; study plans; Admission Point Score (APS) Calculators; and advice on writing a CV or preparing for an interview;
- A directory of universities, colleges, bursaries and career profiles that can be filtered according to preference, and
