“Before this learnership, I had zero direction. I was sitting at home wondering what’s next. Providing Skills showed me I can actually do something with my life. I know how to communicate in a workplace now — I have been able to help my family financially and have grown so much. I’m proud of how far I’ve come.” ~ Zinhle Mothoa
