The session formed part of the bank's colleague volunteerism efforts under its Force for Good agenda and was designed to equip students for life after secondary school.

Students were encouraged to align their interests and strengths with emerging opportunities while developing practical financial habits early. The session also introduced key financial literacy concepts, including budgeting, saving and responsible money management. Students engaged actively throughout the session, asking questions about career pathways, workplace expectations and how to position themselves for opportunities after school. Discussions also covered adaptability and personal development, with colleagues sharing real-life experiences to illustrate the transition from school to the working world.

She said, "At Absa Bank, we believe that equipping young people with the right information and guidance can shape their future opportunities. Through our colleague volunteerism drive, we are able to share practical insights that will support these students to make informed career and financial decisions."
