I am happy to have had the opportunity to become part of the secretarial programme in the year 2021. I was unemployed and job hunting when I came across an advertisement online that led me to the A&A website where I applied for the programme. Trying to find employment at this day and age is difficult due to lack of opportunities but A&A has made it easier as the programme also help with providing essential skills and experience.
This is a phenomenal opportunity that has impacted me personally and my family as I was able to provide for them. I am now employed in the Trade Mark litigation department and the growth that I had in the department has motivated me to study further in the legal profession as I have developed a love for it.
I want to thank Adams & Adams for the opportunity, and I wish this programme to continue to run and assist more people and continue to change lives for the better.
