I’ve learned how to communicate better, manage my time, and work with other  things I used to struggle with. It’s also changed how I see myself; I’m more confident now and I believe I can achieve more than I thought before. My journey with MTA during the learnership has been truly life changing. I’ve grown so much, both personally and professionally. Before joining, I struggled with self-confidence and wasn’t sure about my future. But through the support, mentorship, and training I received from  facilitator  I’ve become more focused, disciplined, and confident in my abilities. The programme has helped me see my worth and potential, and it’s also brought positive changes at home, where I’m now more responsible and hopeful."
