Administration as a whole, communication (business language) and professionalism (in terms of the way I carry myself)

  1. How differently do you see yourself as a result of the YES programme?

I can confidently say that I am ready for the corporate world (business world) be it I work for a major cooperate or I start one myself.

  1. What future do you see for yourself now?

Working my way to the top (in the cooperate space) without even studying business at these top elite institutions.

  1. What advice would you give to unemployed youth?

There are opportunities out there, and you create these opportunities for yourself, through communication, having good relationships. Socially, instilling that ‘go getter’ mentality to yourself….and most importantly…. Positivity is Key.
