Acknowledging the immense sacrifice the ladies had paid in order to finish the training, Kuza Biashara Founder and Chief Mentor Sri Bharatam narrated how he started his career journey at Hewlett-Packard (HP) in 1995 where he used to volunteer doing manual work until he managed to secure himself a role in the global company in just six months.
He encouraged the ladies to humble themselves and go out of their way in order to build successful career paths for themselves.
Also in attendance was ITC SITA Nzuki Waita who reminded the graduates of the need to adopt core life skills in their lives. “The confidence you have gained under this program is what is going to open doors for you,” said Mr. Nzuki who added that he kickstarted his thriving 28-year career as an intern in a leading Japanese company.
Kuza Biashara takes this opportunity to wish all graduates all the best in their endeavours.
