Business and Professional Skills Work Placement

Amazing experience. I had the flexibity to choose my own projects which entailed creating a pipeline, creating social media posts as well as creating a blog. Wesley was always responsive and willing to provide constructive feedback which only benefitted my growth. Highly recommended for people who want to step out their comfort zone and witness personal development in several areas such as critical thinking, leadership and gain a business awareness. I would definitely do this internship again and take advantage of more projects.

This organization does a great job of giving interns insight into the professional world while broadening their horizons not only professionally but also personally. This was a great experience for myself to develop professional skills and I valued every minute of our time working together. I learned a lot about who I am through this experience; what I want to do in the future and areas in which I need to improve. Truthfully the value of this partnership is not on your resume but rather within the impact it makes on yourself and the impact is has on the local communities.

Harare may not be the first gap year destination on your mind, but I have been blown away during my time here. It is a beautiful country, with the best climate I’ve experienced yet and the friendliest people. I was welcomed into a local Zimbabwean company for a month as I worked on the launch of an airline. I even extended my flights to stay longer as I was given the opportunity to work on a women’s health project. From visiting the Victoria Falls, to volunteering at a children’s home, to befriending some wonderful people, to seeing the Big Five up close, to my weekly attendance at an African Dance fitness class to fully immersing myself into Harare nightlife, I would recommend this experience to anyone. It has been such a fantastic start to my gap year adventure and a trip I will remember for years to come.
