About This Disclaimer

Career Youth Insights ("CYI", "we", "us", or "our") provides career information, opportunities, resources and tools for informational and educational purposes.

The website is intended to help users discover opportunities and career resources. Information on CYI should not automatically be treated as official, guaranteed, complete or professional advice. Please read this disclaimer together with our Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy.

Opportunities and Listings

CYI may publish or summarise information about:

• Internships
• Bursaries
• Learnerships
• Graduate programmes
• Jobs
• Government jobs
• Apprenticeships or other career-related opportunities

These opportunities may originate from third-party organisations. CYI may summarise information so that opportunities are easier to understand and discover.

A summary is not a substitute for the official listing. Users should always review the official source before applying.

Accuracy and Currency of Information

CYI aims to provide accurate and useful information. Opportunity details can still change after they are published. Examples include:

• Closing dates
• Eligibility requirements
• Academic requirements
• Required documents
• Application procedures
• Contact information
• Available positions
• Programme availability
• Salary or stipend information
• Locations
• Recruitment processes

CYI cannot guarantee that every piece of information will always be complete, current or error-free.

Before taking action, users should verify important information with the relevant organisation.

Official Application Sources

When an opportunity links to an official organisation or application page, users should use that official source to confirm:

• Requirements
• Closing dates
• Application instructions
• Supporting documents
• Contact information
• Any other important conditions

The organisation responsible for the opportunity has authority over its own application process, including who may apply and how applications are assessed.

No Guarantee of Employment, Funding or Acceptance

Finding or applying for an opportunity through CYI does not guarantee:

• Employment
• An internship placement
• A bursary
• A learnership placement
• Admission to a programme
• Acceptance into a graduate programme
• Selection for an interview
• Funding
• Any other outcome

Final decisions are made by the relevant organisation, institution, employer or programme provider.

Third-Party Organisations and Websites

CYI may link to websites operated by third parties.

CYI does not control those websites, their content, policies, availability or application processes. Once a user leaves CYI and visits a third-party website, that website's own terms, privacy policy and practices apply.

Users should exercise reasonable caution when submitting personal information or documents to external websites.

External Links

External links are provided for convenience and to help users access official or relevant resources.

The presence of a link does not necessarily mean CYI endorses, guarantees or has a formal relationship with the organisation or website.

Links may become unavailable or may change over time.

Career and Educational Information

CYI provides general career and educational information. This may include:

• Career guides
• Application advice
• CV guidance
• Interview guidance
• Bursary guidance
• Job-search advice
• General career planning information

This information is general and may not be appropriate for every person's individual circumstances.

Users should consider their own circumstances and, where appropriate, seek advice from a suitably qualified professional or relevant institution.

Career Tools and Calculators

CYI may provide tools such as:

• APS Score Calculator
• CV Builder
• CV Checker
• CV Templates
• Cover Letter tools
• Z83-related tools
• Other career-related tools introduced in the future

These tools are intended to assist users and may contain limitations. Results generated by CYI tools should be treated as guidance and should not automatically be considered official, legally binding or definitive.

A result from the APS Score Calculator does not constitute an admission decision from a university or other institution. Institutions apply their own rules, and those rules can differ.

Using a CV, CV checker or cover-letter tool does not guarantee employment, interviews or selection.

For the Z83 tool, users should verify the current official requirements and application instructions before submitting a government application.

User Responsibility

Users are responsible for:

• Checking opportunity requirements
• Confirming closing dates
• Reading official application instructions
• Providing accurate information in applications
• Protecting their personal information
• Checking whether an organisation and opportunity are legitimate
• Making their own career and educational decisions

Users should not rely solely on a CYI summary when making an important decision.

Scams, Fraud and Suspicious Opportunities

CYI aims to publish legitimate and useful opportunities. Users should still remain alert to scams and fraudulent activity. Warning signs can include:

• Requests for money to apply for a job or opportunity
• Requests for banking passwords, PINs or OTPs
• Requests for unnecessary sensitive information
• Suspicious email addresses or domains
• Pressure to act immediately
• Requests to communicate exclusively through unofficial channels
• Offers that appear too good to be true

Verify opportunities through official organisation websites and trusted contact information. CYI cannot guarantee that every third-party website or communication a user encounters is safe.

Personal Information and Applications

Users should exercise caution when submitting personal information to third-party organisations. Examples include:

• ID numbers
• Banking information
• Passwords
• OTPs
• Copies of identification documents
• Academic records
• Address information

CYI should never ask users to provide passwords, banking PINs or OTPs through ordinary opportunity listings. For applications, users should submit information directly through the appropriate official application channel whenever possible.

How CYI handles personal information is explained in the Privacy Policy.

Advertising and Sponsored Content

As the website develops, CYI may display advertising, including advertising provided by advertising platforms such as Google AdSense. CYI may also introduce sponsored or featured opportunities and other promotional placements.

Advertising or sponsorship does not automatically mean CYI guarantees the advertiser, product, service or opportunity. Users should independently evaluate advertised products, services and opportunities.

Affiliate Links and Commercial Relationships

CYI may use affiliate links in the future. If a user clicks an affiliate link and makes a qualifying purchase or takes another qualifying action, CYI may receive a commission at no additional cost to the user.

An affiliate relationship does not necessarily determine whether a resource is useful or relevant.

No Professional Advice

Information on CYI should not be interpreted as:

• Legal advice
• Financial advice
• Tax advice
• Immigration advice
• Professional recruitment advice
• Academic admission advice
• Any other specialised professional advice

Where an issue requires professional advice, users should consult an appropriately qualified professional or the relevant institution.

Website Availability

CYI aims to keep the website available and useful, but cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability. The website may occasionally experience:

• Maintenance
• Technical issues
• Downtime
• Broken links
• Service interruptions
• Changes to features or tools

Limitation of Responsibility

To the extent permitted by applicable law, CYI is not responsible for losses or outcomes resulting from a user's reliance on information that is incomplete, outdated, changed by a third party, or incorrectly interpreted.

Nothing in this disclaimer is intended to exclude or limit any rights or protections that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under applicable law.

Changes to This Disclaimer

CYI may update this disclaimer as the website, tools, services and business model develop. Updates may reflect:

• New tools
• Advertising
• Affiliate relationships
• New opportunity categories
• New website functionality

The latest version will be published on this page.
