Department of Higher Education And Training Reviews

 

Excellent exposure in a professional working environment

Working in the department of higher education and training have been an eye opening for me I've gained a lot of professional experience and exposure in a very professional working environment. Working with a lot of professional colleagues has assisted me a lot in terms of learning from their experience and also taught me ho to work well in a team. Dealing with difficult clients was quite a challenge when i first started but with training and everyday practice its now very easy to deal with all sort of clients with an aim to satisfy them and happy when they leave the premises.

Pros: Great opportunity for exposure
Cons: none

Goo working environment

I started working at the department in 2016,It was great being afforded this opportunity as it brought out the communicator in me.Ive always been an introverted being ,but being positioned in a a group setting assisted me in getting over my weakness.I work incredibly hard,work together with my team as well individually .Mostly when Im done with my work i try to assist my co-workers with whatever assistance they might need.I take initiative and also ensure that I give 100% of what I do ,either being asked by the supervisor to assist in verification checks,payments or assist in filing I go for it .I also deal with internal and external queries on a daily basis ,and I always want to ensure that the people who need the assistance leave happy and satisfied . I have learnt to deal with different personalities in the work place ,the importance of working hard and giving it your best ,working under pressure and still producing good and satisfactory results ,having a good attitude and having passion .

Pros: good working environment
Cons: no challenges

Excellent learning curve

I have been working as an Intern from the 15th of January 2018 till 07th January 2019 as a Deputy Principal Personal Assistant . I was fortunate enough to have a 3 (three) months contract renewal and it's ending on the 29th of March 2019. There is no hope of another contract renewal, so I would like to declare that I am available immediately. I performed clerical/admin work on a daily basis: copying , faxing, scanning , answering incoming and outgoing calls. Typing memorandum, Reports and also writing minutes in meeting attended. I had s very good relationship with my co-workers and I accumulated so much experience. Admin duties is what I love wholeheartedly.

Pros: Good field to learn more
Cons: Too much deadlines to be submitted within a short period of time.

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

Great work experience, highly knowledgeable

I am passionate about this area of work (research coordination and management, capacity development in higher education). I am a very focused person who has a great work ethic. I have qualifications to back my experience, BA honours, Masters in Educational Planning and Management, and currently pursuing a PhD degree. I know it would be difficult for the Department to lose me, but I believe I will be better placed in this position as it will provide me with an opportunity for growth and further development.

Pros: explore new avenues and further development
Cons: normal working hours
