π Impact Story: Youth Empowerment Through Opportunity
My name is Babalwa Hita, and I am currently an HR Intern at Amathuba Collective.
For years, I searched for an internship opportunity where I could grow professionally, gain practical experience, and begin building my career in Human Resources. Joining Amathuba Collective became the breakthrough I had been hoping for, and it has truly transformed my life both personally and professionally.
Through this journey, I have gained confidence, improved my communication skills, and learned how to work professionally within a team environment. I have also developed valuable experience in managing responsibilities, communicating with candidates, and contributing to important organisational tasks.
Like any growth journey, there were challenges. Balancing multiple responsibilities and stepping outside of my comfort zone was not always easy, but those experiences helped me become more resilient, confident, and adaptable.
This opportunity reminded me that growth happens when we believe in ourselves and continue pushing forward despite challenges.
Looking ahead, I hope to become a qualified HR professional who creates positive impact in the workplace while helping other young people access opportunities and believe in their potential.π
