I always had a passion for being trendy and looking good but never thought I could
make a career out it. So I did what most young people do, I studied
a vocation guaranteed
to help me climb the corporate ladder – accounting.
|
I obtained a National Diploma in Cost and Management Accounting at NMMU, PE in 2007.
That’s where I came across The Foschini Group Graduate Program. The Program has
been
a revelation to me and has changed the way I see the retail industry.
|
I was employed in 2008 as a Markham Trainee Planner where I am currently looking
after Casual Jackets, a R52 million a year business. This is
a major responsibility,
but with the help of my coach and mentor, that the Program assigns you, I am finding
it a fantastic learning environment.
