Here are some quotes from our learners:

“It was so nice and our facilitator made our experience at JA worthwhile. Learners in the programme were all good and I personally enjoyed working with them. I learnt the importance of teamwork and being faithful to shareholders, learnt a great deal about how to start and operate a mini enterprise. I now feel confident that I have the necessary ingredients to start my own business in the near future.”
Sizwe Buthelezi, Assistant General Manager, Vukuza High School KwaZulu Natal.

“I would like to thank Coca Cola and Junior Achievement for the opportunity they’ve offered us. The programme unlocked my doors and answered many questions I had about the business world. Being a Financial Manager taught me a lot and influenced me to start my own business. I enjoyed working with money. The programme has also assisted with my commercial studies as I sometimes didn’t understand the jargon being used there. If Junior Achievement comes again, I will be the first to sign and learn. The programme refreshed me, changed my life and I am now more educated. I now aim for the stars, I am the best!”
Mduduzi Zulu, Financial Manager, Imbilane High School, KwaZulu Natal.

“What I have gained is going to help me in future considering that I’m planning on joining the business world. JA helped improve my skills in controlling company activities, decision making, solving problems and chairing company meetings.”
Nonhlanhla Mbatha, Ndlovana High School, KwaZulu Natal.

"I am now confident that out of what I have learnt from the programme, I can run my own business and I can also be a financial manager of a big company one day.”
Maluleke Millicent, Kheto High School, Giyani, Limpopo


“The positive side to me is that this is an opportunity to be in the business world. I do Technical Drawing but Junior Achievement SA has exposed me to the business side of things, it has really opened my eyes. ”
Mabaso Masana, Kheto High School, Giyani, Limpopo
