Buhle Farmers Academy Reviews

 

Excellent experince

I work at a NGO, Farming Academy. I am based at the head office in Pretoria, there is a farm in Delmas and Piet Retief. My main responsibilities are Pastel Partner (Bookkeeping), general office administration, weekly management of company expenditure (budget forecasts). At our office in Pretoria I work directly with the CEO,COO and the Director of Business and Finance. This opportunity to work closely with management gives me an opportunity to learn and understand how a company operates at management level. I enjoy working at this Academy because of the great work they do for people in South Africa and neighbouring countries. Helping farmers start their own businesses and teaching them how to sustain. It is truly a wonderful thing. One person said that you will always need a farmer in your everyday life, for breakfast, lunch and dinner you will need a farmer. What this organisation does for a lot of people who are struggling is incredible.

Pros: great start for a student
Cons: only a 6 months contract

A great stepping stone

I can describe the company I work for as a engine of empowerment. We were given the task to change the mindset of emerging farmers into that of enterprenuers.Like any work place their were challenges that one encounters such as not meeting targets due to budget cuts but , it allowed one to think out of the box come up with meaningful solutions to the problem. I can say that I had a good relationship with all my co-workers , as well as other important stakeholders. My people skills are so good that when the company was expanding I was the one delegated to go start the new training campus .This was a huge task as I didn't know what to expect but, like any challenge I was able to make the impact that was required of me by my superiors. The best part of working at Buhle was the impact one could make through the transfer of skills.

Pros: Empowering others
Cons: No overtime payment

Great Learning curve

Working at Buhle is fun as we get to know new people on each and every course, I work closely with my colleagues and we come up with great Ideas and we provide great team work values, i have learnt a lot at Buhle from Entertainment to Farming I have gained a lot info when it comes to farming, I enjoy liaising with new and old farmers as I get to grow my customer service skills. we get to deal with very difficult students some of them don't want to co-operate with the campus rules, so I learnt when solving a problem one of us in the situation has to be down so we can go separate ways with the problem solved

Pros: Learn more
Cons: too much to do
