Succees Stories of past learners

The Sizanani Mentorship Programme helped not only with passing grades but with also the Varsity preparation and exposure. Then there were all these extramural activities that help in terms of your self-esteem and having goals bigger than getting a job and supporting your family. In 2011, after getting my Grade 12 results, I was thinking of working at a retail company. My mentor Sebastien Hervieu from France asked me: "Your family survived the last 18 years with you not working, don't you think they can survive the next three years? By then, you would have a qualified job!” After that, my first stop was UJ. Today, I hold a B.Tech in Industrial Engineering and did a two-year internship as a young manager at Nestle. In September 2018, I started a Masters degree in Nantes (France) thanks to a bursary from Campus France.
