Excellent management experience

The DHET is a well oiled machine and caters for youth who left school. A typical work day will be to register students, meet with stakeholders, students, staff, Officials from DHET and Basic Education, etc. I have a very open relationship with co-workers and believe in participative management, where collective decisions is taken, considering all factors. I have learned to achieve the most with a limited budget. I enjoy growing as a person, motivating staff, students and parents. This ensure that everyone grow the businerss, grow personally, keeps motivated and live in harmony with one another. The most challenging aspects of the job is to deal with politics. Politics undermine growth.

Pros: great benefits
Cons: stressfull

Great learning opportunity

A typical work day for me includes answering emails, out out files if there's any, capturer terminations , leave on Persal, assist with recruiments, trainings and day to day activities. My work relationship with my co-workers is very healthy, social and a familty like type of culture. I have learned how to be punctual, be a critical thinker, pay attention to details, maintain confidentiality at all cost, how to be empathatic when dealing with people, self managemnt skills, work within instructions and meeting deadlines. I really enjoyed exploring different parts of my joband also working in a different office than what i have studied for which is Finance department.. the most chllenging part of my job is the workload tends to be too much coming from different aspects.

Pros: Better growth environment
Cons: Working overtime with no pay

Working for the governemnt is not as challenging as the private sector, usually some ideas will not work because they were not either approved or given as an instruction by top management.
