SUCCESS STORIES
"I feel that it was a fruitful program, especially for newcomers who have the qualifications but do not have the necessary exposure. It opened doors to volunteer work, which is a very essential part of the job-seeking process. One thing that really touched me was that every participant was given individual attention and motivated in accordance to her respective interests/fields. In future, it would be more beneficial if more non-profit organisations and young entrepreneurs are invited, which will engage more youth and give them much-needed direction in their respective fields."
