Derick Mahlo, Executive Education Student, 2014

I work for the Department of Home Affairs and our Learning Academy awarded me an opportunity to study at WBS in 2012. I was a junior manager when I attended the programme. I have now been appointed as office manager with my own branch that I manage. I report directly to the District Manager who is at the level of Director.

Thanks to the DHA Learning Academy and Wits Business School! I completed the course and was awarded with the NQF LEVEL 6 qualification. In 2014 I was promoted to Senior Administrative Officer with the knowledge I gained at WBS – practiced ethical conduct, effective management of operations in civic services and how to efficiently manage people and our clients.

The Management has now seconded me to other branches to act as office manager where I can further develop my skills.
