Spring is in the air and we could not be happier for seeing the dull and dreary layers of winter being shed. Sunshine and beautiful weather greets us in the Mother City as well as beautiful, smiling faces of our Academy learners in Cape Town. A rejuvenated feeling of accomplishment sets in as we slowly, but sure approach the end of a very busy year.

We are happy to report a success story of a past learner, Ronecia Christians (19 years old), who finished her Life Skills Qualification with I Can! Cape Town on the 25 July 2014.   When she first came into my office with her uncle and aunt at the start of her learnership, she explained in a very timid voice that she wanted to learn and not be dependent on others. She believed that the learnership would help her achieve this.

True to her word, Ronecia made a success of her learnership and persevered with every challenge. Ronecia even volunteered her services at our graduation again demonstrating her willingness to learn at every opportunity.

We are proud to announce that after a month of completing her learnership, she has secured a job at one of our Practical Host Sites, Sun Bell Lodge. She applied for a position and within a week they contacted her informing her that her application had been successful. We are delighted for her!

Congratulations Ronecia on your new job, we encourage you to continue to strive for what you want.
