Tshepiso Hlongwane

Human Resource Management

I Tshepiso Hlongwane completed my theory studies at South West Gauteng College. I am writing this testimonial regarding my internship program experience so far. I am a Human Resource management at TWOPNM Academy. Currently it's my sixth month in an internship program, it is a very educational experience for me, where I have to learn many different things which are outside my theorical my qualification as the company is a Marketing & sales company. I benefited by learning how to draft Quotations for different companies or individuals, partnering the company with different organisations that deals with education and training. I learned how to use Microsoft word, Excel and Power-point. My tasks include sitting on interviews for the new interns/employees, applying to different Seta’s for discretionary grants, drafting registers and also editing or creating different documents for them. I also learned how to use Microsoft teams, setting-up meetings. As an intern you are required to do different tasks at a given period of time and having a mentor to guide you through all your task given, it is a best thing ever, as it makes your training even much better. It is a great pleasure and a big Thank you to TWOPNM, SWGC and MICT Seta to grant students like myself an opportunity of getting an internship to convert theory studies to practical work experience, that would open greater opportunities. Learning + Training = A productive intern

Working for TWOPNM Academy as an intern is such an interesting journey for me, because it has grown me mentally and helped me to be able to face challenges in a workplace environment, with a positive and more effective and productive mindset. The company has taught me to be broader and more open minded in the business world. TWOPNM is a small company that obstacles facing so with the team members that are hands on and willing to go extra mile, it consists of us to me more vigilant and active, requires you to be able to work under pressure and be able to handle the pressure. Teamworking at TWOPNM is a key, because there are deadlines to be met
