From Grade 11 to graduation

Talent identified
before matric.

Nexus Pipeline finds Grade 11 learners early and keeps them in front of the companies that sponsor them. Once a learner is chosen, the tracking runs every term until they qualify — marks, standing and progress, all in one place. We don't stop at matric.

Six stages, fully managed

No learner falls through the cracks. Companies always know what's coming.

01

Student identification

Schools refer Grade 11 learners. APS captured at mid-year as the opening baseline.

02

Aptitude testing

Sector-relevant aptitude battery: numerical, spatial, abstract and technical reasoning.

03

APS tracking

APS monitored across four milestones. Sponsors see who is climbing and who needs support.

04

Company matching

Learners are introduced to companies with their full record behind them, not just a score.

05

In-study monitoring

Reported every term until the learner qualifies. Trouble is flagged while there is still time to act.

06

Into work

Companies take their graduates into internships and first roles. Nexus tracks it through.

Three clients, one system

Nexus sits between the school, the institution, and the company, so everyone sees the same picture.

School

Refers candidates

Identifies learners, submits APS results, receives career guidance tools and outcome reports.

Company

Sets requirements

Defines field and qualification. Sees candidates with a real track record. Decides who to support.

Institution

Delivers qualification

Runs the academic programme. Reports performance to Nexus each semester.

Company

Receives graduate

Employs the graduate they have followed since Grade 11.

Interim management

Nexus handles the gap between offer and registration: paperwork, liaison, and onboarding.

Numbers intelligence

You see who is coming through and when. No overcommitment.

Performance accountability

Benefits tied to results. A company hears about a problem in the term it happens, not at graduation.

B-BBEE alignment

Recognised B-BBEE spend, confirmed with your verification agency.
