As it is always joyful to meet again with his/her Lovers one. This was what I have experienced last Wednesday when I met my 2006 World of Work’s colleagues at the 2007 WOW training launch. Certainly, it was really interesting and joyful to hear from my dear friends after one year of separation. The interventions of Celeste, Cyrille and Zanele have edified the audience and give not only this year WOW trainees but also me.
Many students ignore the reality of transition between studies and work environment. They need a practical training to prepare and/or initiate them to new realities. Celeste, Cyrille and Zanale’s experience of world of work transition were helped us a lot. I was proud of my colleagues when they presented their work experience to audience. They have honestly accepted that the transition was not easy as they were many challenges each and every day. By now they are continuously overcoming all these challenges. For them, the WOW training is very important as it gives edge to the participants. They also insisted on the positive impact of Blogging.
However, in the one hand, their intervention brought hope and self confidence, in the other hand, it sounded like a challenging self assessment. I was continuously questioning myself until I come up with a ‘reasonable’ and responsible solution to what I am facing. I have realised that if my colleagues are where they are today is the fruit of hard work. Thus, I have decided to also work hard in order to transform my weaknesses to my strengths. It sounds a good resolution, but also discipline, commitment and support of all of you. I will be grateful to your positive contribution to my resolution for success. Let us encourage one another with the aim of facing and winning our world’s challenges.
To you, my dear colleagues, Congratulations! I wish you all the best and ask each one of you to stick where you are and perform more at your work place. And to you, 2007 WOW trainees, you are the privileged people. Concentrate to your programme and maximize your employability chance.
