Gqeberha, South Africa, 20 November 2023 \u2013 The Coega Development Corporation (Coega) recently welcomed a group of 15 young graduates from the Kick Start Programme, facilitated by Common Purpose, a non-profit organisation specialising in personal and leadership development.<\/p>\n
The visit formed part of a vital component of a comprehensive career immersion programme aimed at broadening the graduates\u2019 horizons and deepening their understanding of the working world. The visit offered participants an opportunity to gain insight into specific areas of expertise based on their interests, including Business Development, Corporate Services, and Marketing and Communications.<\/p>\n
Coega is committed to supporting the growth and development of young professionals, and this partnership with Common Purpose allowed us to engage with and empower the next generation of leaders.<\/p>\n
According to Coega\u2019s Unit Head of Human Resources, Ms. Azia Nxumalo, career development requires boldness and the will to embrace change.<\/p>\n
\u201cAn important word of advice is to network, engage with people, and learn from people. You need to be willing to grab hold of opportunities, even the ones that involve change and the ones that may scare you,\u201d urged Nxumalo.<\/p>\n
As a catalyst for the champion of socio-economic opportunities, Coega supports initiatives that empower young professionals and brings them closer to realising economic empowerment.<\/p>\n
