My experience at YGWA has been acquiring interpersonal skills, including teamwork, responsibility, leadership, flexibility, among others. Most of these skills are not acquired or practised through the learning institutions in place or the one I attended.
My most valuable learning experience was how to adapt quickly in an ever-changing environment. With every change, I learned a new skill. At YGWA, working with helpful mentors shifts your mindset into an entrepreneurial one, gaining experience and developing ideas towards income generation.
I have been able to get paid work as a virtual support assistant with KCB Biashara Club [Kenya Commercial Bank]. I have also received a sponsorship to acquire more skills through the Work Experience Mentorship Academy[WEMA] and INUKA 21 Leadership Challenge.
I would recommend YWGWA to those just out of college as a way to gain valuable experience in entrepreneurship.
