Letitia Kamfer is a former QASA Work Readiness Programme candidate who has achieved success after completing the programme. She thanks the organisation for the role it played in her success.
“I don’t know where to start, because QASA has changed the way I look at life,” Letitia says. “I was a young, pregnant paraplegic and, at the time, I was at home and unemployed. I had no purpose for life.”
She decided to apply to the programme and was accepted. Letitia recalls: “The great news could not have come at a better time, being a first time mommy. I needed to do something with my life not just for me, but for my unborn child.
“Because of the programme, I knew that I was ready to start putting the practical part of the training into practice. I was awarded the 12-month internship at Kemklean Hygiene Solutions. Little did I know that I would be able to achieve what was expected of me. As time had passed I’ve learned a lot,” she adds.
“My line manager, Rushnee Adams, played a big part in my achievements. She never gave up on me, just like the colleagues at QASA. These people had my back since day one and made me so happy. They are willing to help me with anything. I can’t describe my gratitude. I have achieved a lot since I’ve become a member of QASA,” Letitia notes.
She thanks the QASA team: “I’m grateful for these changes in my life and it’s all thanks to QASA and to my colleagues who are always just a call away. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to make something of myself.”
