Excellent skills in training and development
It is a very big department and the job I do can be done by 2 to 3 people. We are understaffed and the department does not advertise more posts. I work perfectly well with my subordinate but not too good with my supervisor because we disagree on most things she does. I have acquired more skills and knowledge in the training and development unit and I also facilitate some trainings in the department and other departments. I also work with experiential learners and the work is very challenging as I have to monitor all of them.
Pros: Development can be there if posts are advertised
Cons: Sometimes I don't do lunch to get the job done

I am sa
I am an educator teaching mathematics and physical science from grade8-12. My core duties is to teach and give leaners informal tasks and mark the scripts and report back to learners and also to my supervisor. I'm working with colleagues in a harmonious manner and respectable, where sometimes we form team work. As an educator learning happens everyday where I am managing my classroom and my subjects. I always learn new ways of delivering the content to the learners. I enjoy doing physical sciences with learners and practical work in the laboratory. Most of the challenge is overcrowding in the classrooms and when learners are not doing their work thoroughly
Pros: Growing in communication and interaction with parents,colleagues, learners and the community
Cons: Lot of extra classes on the weekends

Excellent learning opportunities
I got to do what I have studied at school practically and it was very different than the theoretical. The job is very interesting and challenging. I get to go to school and talk to teenagers about career choice and the difference universities that South Africa has. Challenge: some of the teenagers do not care about school and education, I than have the task to motivate them about the seriousness of education and having a dream which will lend you to your purpose in life. My relationship with my co-worker is professional, they encourage and inspire me to achieve and become a better person
Pros: learn about people behaviors
Cons: intern programme
