“The program has taught me so many skills, professionally and personally. This is more than just a learning program; you get to be treated like family and get a feeling of belonging. Yes, the practical assessment was a bit challenging at times, but with the help of my brilliant facilitator, nothing seemed impossible – we are grateful to have had a facilitator like her. Our facilitator is a phenomenal person. She has helped me to grow as a person and believe me when I say I have grown, as some of the assessments required us to speak in front of the whole class, which has groomed my communication skills, as well as other skills that I was able to acquire from the program. The program was holistic as it also took care of our mental health because our opinion mattered to our facilitator. I would like to thank the program for giving me the skills to kick start my career. Keep on changing the world with the men and women that the program grooms!” – Phuti

“Having worked in retail, the program was an eye-opener for me. I got to learn more about the behind-the-scenes of retail operations – I was never trained or taught most of the things that I learnt in the program. As a consumer, I got a better understanding of why and how things are the way we see them inside the shops which was very fascinating. I enjoyed the merchandising module a lot, I remember walking inside a store one day and seeing what I had learnt about in class the previous day. The workload was a lot but our facilitator made everything easy. She was so understanding, and she was always available to help at any time. We completed the program with ease. I would not trade this experience for anything else. A big thank you to the Managed People Solutions team for making this possible! The only way to go from here is up.“ – Thabile
