Perfect place to explore the government protocols and acts
department of higher education and training is one of the biggest department in south Africa and it deals with all south African universities, all public TVET college and some private colleges so working there has been great in terms of a career starter and it is a right place to explore who you truly are in terms of career building. the time i started working there i quickly got along with my supervisor not even my fellow interns, we spent so much time in one office doing data collection, cleaning, analysis and integration. she learnt a lot from me as much as l learnt a lot from her. she even convinced me to stay for at least another year with her in data analysis circle due to experience i brought and problem solving skills i constantly offered.
Pros: financial stability
Cons: Not a career building Department

Extremely Dependable
My work style is extremely flexible – working on so many different projects requires me to be adaptive. In general, I try to work on one project at a time, working as quickly but efficiently as possible to achieve the highest results. All of my projects require collaboration, so I use the team environment to check for errors. I am a perfectionist and a driven worker, and I think my clear communication skills allow me to bring out the best in any team, in any project. I am extremely dependable. I have rarely missed a day of work, and am known for coming in early and staying late to finish important tasks and achieve results. This dependability extends to my collaborative work as well. I always meet deadlines, and help my teammates to meet theirs as well. For example, on my last project, a teammate was struggling to complete his assignment for the team, and I stayed late every day that week to help him not only complete his assignment, but exceed our initial estimations for the project.
Pros: Excellent
Cons: 8 working hours

Good learning experience
on a typical work day my responsibilities are to prepare and execute lessons. I am also responsible for capturing students absenteeism. The relationship with co-workers is professional as we communicate clearly on job issues and other related problems. What I have learnt is that people with different backgrounds have they own understanding and procedures to solving a problem but with good understanding and team work better results are achieved. The most challenging part is that sometimes its hard to change peoples mind on what they believe is right.
Pros: Great opportunity for growth
Cons: Standing for long periods

Work environment
Well, basically my typical work day is preparing for classes using different but limited resources at work, not that challengaing but somewhat interesting. Some colleagues are very private (reluctant to share info) and some are out going & open to ideas and suggestions. I learnt to take an initiative if i need to get something done. I also learnt to find solutions to forthcoming problems. What i enjoy most is being in the learning enviorment with my students and not so such of the office politics. My major challenge is connecting students with the local industry.
Pros: Expanding your learning capacity everyday
Cons: Sometimes no support from management

Work Independently, Working Under Pressure, Personal Safety, Remembering My Responsibilities.
- I have higher expectation for my results. I am confident in my ability to produce, and while I prepare for the worst, I do the work necessary to tilt the odds so that the best will happen. - I am consistently growing growing and take the time to continue learning even though it's not a direct requirements of the job. - I always keep line of communication open and always concerned with clients needs. - i have learned to be able to control the situation rather than allowing a situation to control me. - I always take responsibility to my action when things go wrong. I don't look for outside forces to blame, rather, I look at what i can improve upon the next time around. pointing fingers solves Nothing! - I have learned to respect my co-workers and the external stakeholders(Clients). - I enjoy to be a team player and the most challenging aspects i have faced is when a colleague performs better and the executive notice it but at the same time it becomes my strength and i groom more from that.
