[HIGHER HEALTH HIRING UNEMPLOYED SOCIAL WORKERS IN RURAL CAMPUSES] 🎓🇿🇦

Meet Alexis Puttergill, a Higher Health Campus Care Worker (Social Worker) based at Eastcape Midlands College- Corporate profile, whose journey is a powerful example of creating employment opportunities for unemployed social workers while transforming student lives.

Through funding from the National Skills Fund (NSF), Higher Health has employed 150 previously unemployed social workers from rural communities, placing them at rural campuses in their communities across South Africa to strengthen student health and psychosocial support services.

Having served in her role for nearly six months, Alexis expresses her gratitude to Higher Health and the National Skills Fund for providing her with an opportunity to transition from graduate unemployment into meaningful employment.

For Alexis, this is more than just a job. It is an opportunity to give back by supporting students facing challenges similar to those she experienced during her own academic journey.

She is also pursuing a Master of Social Science in Community Mental Health, further strengthening her expertise and commitment to improving student wellbeing.

Higher Health’s Social Workers play a critical role in providing holistic student support, addressing mental health, gender-based violence, HIV prevention, sexual and reproductive health, substance abuse, disability inclusion and other challenges affecting young people.

This initiative is not only creating employment opportunities for young graduates. It is building a stronger, healthier and more supported generation of students across South Africa.

Today, on Day 2 of the Higher Health Provincial Regional Stakeholder Forum at Kennaway Hotel in East London, we engage TVET and CET Colleges across the Eastern Cape, bringing together DHET Regional Office, Principals, Deputy Principals, Student Support Services Managers and SRC Representatives.

As we transition into HIGHER HEALTH 3.0, our mission is clear: Listen to the sector, identify gaps, strengthen partnerships and build solutions together.

Our new vision focuses on expanding provincial clinical teams, launching our Disability Inclusion Support Programme, strengthening Peer Education and preventing young people from becoming NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training).

With AI rapidly transforming the world of work, our NQF Level 5 Civic and Soft Skills Programme is more relevant than ever, equipping young people with the cognitive, analytical and essential soft skills needed for the jobs of tomorrow.

Yesterday, Higher Health kicked off its Provincial Regional Stakeholder Forums at the Kennaway Hotel in East London, bringing together Vice-Chancellors, Deans of Student Affairs, Communities of Practice, Campus Security representatives and other key stakeholders from Eastern Cape universities.

As Higher Health transitions into its 3.0 phase, its Executive Management Team will visit all provinces to share the organisation’s new vision, strengthen institutional partnerships and, most importantly, listen to the sector.

The consultations aim to identify existing challenges, address gaps in student support and explore how Higher Health can better respond to the evolving needs of institutions and young people.

Key priorities under HIGHER HEALTH 3.0 include establishing provincial networks of doctors to strengthen specialised clinical support, launching a Disability Inclusion Support Programme, expanding Peer Education and strengthening interventions aimed at preventing young people from becoming Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET).

A major focus is also the expansion of HIGHER HEALTH’s NQF Level 5 Civic and Soft Skills Programme, equipping young people with critical cognitive, analytical and interpersonal skills as Artificial Intelligence rapidly transforms the future of work.
