We're the platform that actually gets what students need. No corporate jargon, no confusing career advice - just real tools to help you figure out your future.
Picture this: you're in high school, everyone's asking "what do you want to be?" but nobody's showing you how to get there. That's the gap we're filling.
Born in South Africa but built for the world, Qaruno came from seeing too many clever students feeling lost after school. We're here to make sure you've got proper direction, not just a certificate.
It's about giving you the map when everyone else is just pointing at the mountains.
To give every student free access to the knowledge and tools they need to make proper decisions about their future. Guidance shouldn't be a luxury.
We're here to:
We're playing the long game with clear goals:
Next 3 years: Become the go-to student platform in South Africa and expand across Africa. Build a proper community of students and educators.
Next 5 years: Take Qaruno global. Multiple languages, local roadmaps that actually make sense for different education systems worldwide.
Bottom line: we'll keep evolving to meet what students actually need. No standing still, no getting in the way.
The principles that guide everything we do:
Students will never pay for Qaruno. Period.
Every feature is built with learners in mind.
Same opportunities, no matter where you're from.
We make education and careers easier to navigate.
Rooted in South Africa, built for the world.

The name Qaruno breaks down like this:
Started Qaruno after seeing how many students finish school without a clue about what comes next. Wanted to create something that actually helps.

The vision: build a generation of students who actually know where they're headed and have the confidence to get there.
Handles getting Qaruno out there - marketing, strategy, connecting with schools and making sure we're actually reaching students who need us.
