“I have never been to a place were people genuinely care for other people, this week has been one of the greatest weeks of my life.”

Robert’s Overall Programme Rating: 8.9 / 10

“Was a great programme. Really enjoyed all the effort that went into the project. No other company will put so much effort into developing students. It really was the opportunity of a lifetime! Extremely thankful. All of the mentors entrusting us with such personal stories, trying to give us advice on how to approach life. So much appreciation for every person that shared all of their stories with us, life lessons, and just offering up their time, we really appreciate it. Really enjoyed meeting Adriaan and getting some pointers on my future. I really do hope I have the opportunity to come back to Pragma. If I ever do, I would feel extremely lucky..”

“Pragma is such and amazing company, I have witnessed why it is one of the best companies to work for, they truly live up to their name. It is also amazing - its most valuable asset is people. The three weeks I have spent at Pragma has been life changing, I have received practical training in asset management and valuable wisdom from various mentors in the company. The client project were real and made me feel part of the company and adding value. I am confident to say that this programme had added value in my life and for that I am very grateful. A special thanks to Stephan for granting me with the opportunity to be part of this programme and to everyone who contributed to the programme.”

“The life lessons learned during this programme was invaluable. It has reignited my excitement for - not only my career - but also my future and the future of this country.”

Ghiete’s Overall Programme Rating: 9.7 / 10

“This programme is a door opener to someone who is just starting their career. It is filled with more than just what a typical vac work entails. It allows us one to learn on how to

play to their strengths so that they can use it to their ultimate and be able to produce more than just what they expected to at work. Thank you Stephan Pieterse for this amazing opportunity. I as a National Diploma student never thought I would be selected among such great young individuals, who are filled with so much potential and yet had this fear within me that what will I have to offer when the bar is already set so high. It made me realize that it is all about the effort, hard work and dedication gives in order to unleash their full potential. Thank you to our project leader Mike Els for his time and all the effort he put in with leading us throughout our project. Thank you Adriaan for allowing young South African students this great opportunity. You made me understand the value of time and I will cherish the following words said by you "Leave out excuses and put in the work."

“Greatest experience! Enjoyed the content and interaction and learned a lot. These three weeks have gone by so fast and reflecting back made me realise the value that this training programme has added to my life. Since day one I could feel a difference in the way I view myself and my future. I enjoyed the mentor sessions and all the knowledge gained. This is an opportunity that I will always remember and cherish. The students were amazing and I learned so much from each of them! I enjoyed the client project as it challenged me and taught me to ask questions, do proper research and to always keep things simple. I enjoyed graduation day and all the special messages we received. Pragma has changed the way I value myself and this experience will definitely form one of the highlights in my life story! Thank you very much!.”

Larissa’s Overall Programme Rating: 10 / 10

“Absolutely brilliant programme! Very much life changing. I'm sleep deprived but it's the kind of sleep deprivation that feels great, lol! :). This programme is completely different from anything I have ever experienced or even imagined ever experiencing. The amount of friendliness and support from employees who were involved in the programme and even those who weren't directly involved was wonderful! :) Thank you to Stephan P for investing more than just money but investing so much of himself in the programme. I cannot emphasise enough how his passion is evident in the work he does with the programme. Thank you to Adriaan for making the time to clarify so many things relating to my future; a lot of my anxieties were eased. There are really countless people I could thank but I think the best form of a thank you would be to make the best of every opportunity I obtain.”
