Progressive change
The department offers opportunities for its employees to grow in the industry. It offers variety of capacity building, like training offered in an employee relevant field. I have acquired a certificate in Community Based Plan Facilitation with the University of Free State with the partnership with the department. I also obtained a certificate in Financial Management (attendance). I have an individual plan for that current plan that i have to work on to deliver the work that needs to be done. I have learnt to work in groups though sometimes its changing but empowered me to grow and learn from people's mistakes. I enjoyed assisting the community to alleviate poverty and sustain their lives. Household profiling is the most challenging thing I've ever came across, sometimes you get kicked out of the household without acquiring the information needed.
Pros: Great opportunity for capacity building
Cons: No too much work

Great growth experience
One gets to get an experience is many areas such as PR, events Managment, corporate communication , digital marketing and media relations . With the vatietion one is able to pick where they excel the most or where their focal interest is. A downfall was that some to most of the principles where centralised to a provincial level which did not give one at a district level to explore to the best of their ability
Pros: A learning curve
Cons: lack of growth

It was a wonderful learning curve
I was working as a intern admin clerk, I was doing typing, faxing, scanning, photocopies,answering calls etc. I had a good working relationship with the staff as I was helping them with their files most of the time& I have learned a lot in terms of dealing with different types of people. Also on how to handle difficult clients since I was working close with Social Workers. At first it was difficult to work with large number of people but as time goes on I manage handle such pressure.
Pros: Great Opportunity for me to learn new staff
Cons: Long hours

Excellent working experiance
Its a very good company that render services to our communities.it gave me the opportunity to explore how is it to work with different clients with different situations.they offered us an opportunity to work with NGOs,we did profiling,mobilization and i volunteered in HR Office and switchboard. its an 8 hour working day,that is how it operates.the co-workers were good even though you dont meet the same people but you learn to accept the way people do things and the way they approach things.they thought us so much in social development. that is where i discovered what i love doing. What i really enjoyed doing was doing filing,submitting leaves and copies an also leaves how to capture information in the computer. most challenging was when you get the complaint from the client and its not attended by the specific social worker,which takes you a bit down but you end up following the case until its attended.
Pros: great job opportunity
Cons: short working hours,lot of work.
