“Trust in the process and always give 100%” are the words of Funiwe Mzimba, a determined and diligent young woman who had never given up in her pursuit of a sustainable career. With diplomas in International Tourism and Commerce in Marketing Management, she considers herself fortunate enough to have received a response to become a YES candidate for PCC.

Funiwe says, “My life has changed for the better now that I am employed permanently at my host company, Fibre Institute. I would like to thank my sponsor, PCC, for providing me with the opportunity for employment where I could gain experience and develop skills outside of what I had studied at the tertiary level.”

She now helps other unemployed people by providing info on the YES programme and assisting those who do not have the means to apply by themselves. She continues the Power of One by encouraging young people to keep on striving as “employers are not only looking for qualifications or experience but also for determination and willingness.”
