Kingsburgh Child and Family Welfare hosted a youth mentorship programme, which was an AECI-funded initiative, on 20 and 21 February.
The programme was aimed at providing young people with skills and information to enter the job market. The following aspects were covered: Applications/CV or resume (writing skills preparing a CV), work readiness, work habits, personal and social presentation, as well as interview skills.
“This enlightened the attendees on the attributes of being employable, being a lifelong learner, developing a life purpose and plan,” said senior social worker, Sandra Govender. “An inspiring and empowering morning was experienced by the youth. We at Welfare feel positive of the impact of this programme, as we have increased self-esteem and provided the youth with hope that they can improve their quality of life. We have inspired change by encouraging youth to believe in themselves and know their worth.”
Kingsburgh Child and Family Welfare thank Jo-Anne Jansen van Vuuren and Natasha Aarsen of Express Employment Professionals and Chantal Beaza, a local businesswoman and employer, for the two days of inspiration, motivation and empowerment.
