“Meet opportunities with preparation and dedication, and you will surely walk on your path to success,” Junior legal associate Bethel advises the youth.

Bethel Madida is a YES programme learner of Signa Opportunity with a Diploma in Law under his belt. This ambitious young man is currently working towards his LLB qualification, as well as a qualification in Corporate Governance Practice.

Bethel came across a YES vacancy on LinkedIn and eagerly applied. From there, he learnt about Signa Opportunity and their YES Programme when they contacted him about his application.

In talking about his experience, he explains how his life has changed, “Signa Group hosted me for the duration of my YES programme, which led me to establish my life as a professional and an adult in a personal capacity. I have gained immeasurable experience from my supervisor, who mentored me, teaching me everything from academic principles to having a full perspective of the legal, risk, and compliance environment”.

“I want to thank my sponsor, Professional Cost Consulting, for offering me the opportunity to pursue my very first job with Signa Group and believing in me as their candidate,” Bethel said, expressing his gratitude. “Signa group means transformation and empowerment for youth like me and a nod to a better future,” explains Bethel.

Bethel’s plans for the future include growing within the company and soaring to new heights of knowledge in the legal field. He also plans to pay the #PowerofOne forward by mentoring and supporting learners the company receives from internships and learnerships. Furthermore, he intends to assist YES with an outreach campaign to get more hosts and sponsors on board so they can further impact more youth like himself.
