    "Grateful for the opportunity to connect, empower, and inspire! 🙌🏽 , we joined forces with The Foundation For Tomorrow (TFFT) to equip 35 of their incredible alumni with essential career-building skills. Our dynamic trio—Ally Yassir, Yonaza Msemo, and Maboni Nick—led an engaging two-day workshop on CV writing, crafting application letters, seizing opportunities, and behavior change management. With energizers, group work, and discussions, we made learning interactive and impactful, ensuring every participant stayed engaged and connected to the content. Huge thanks to TFFT for this wonderful partnership, and here’s to many more opportunities to make a difference together! 🌟 #YouthEmpowerment #CareerBuilding #Hi5Training #Collaboration"

    🌟 Celebrating Parents Day at Jobortunity! 🌟 Twice a year, we have the pleasure of inviting parents and guardians to Jobortunity to witness the incredible progress of our students. This year was no exception! Through student-led presentations, parents and guardians got an insightful look into what Jobortunity entails, including an explanation of the different fingers of the Hi5 method. They were also entertained by our talented students from both classes with song and dance performances. Class 2023B proudly presented their progress in Apprenticeships, while Class 2024A showcased the impressive results of their Project Week. After the presentations, students had one-on-one discussions with their parents and trainers to review their strengths and areas for improvement. We concluded the day with some delightful tea and mandazi, celebrating the achievements and hard work of our students together. A big thank you to all the parents, guardians, and students for making this day so special!

    Testimonial from our Graduate Student David Sarakikya to our current In House students; Great job, everyone! In my opinion, your efforts at Jobortunity are your capital. As a graduate, I can attest that the more effort you invest in Jobortunity's lessons, the better you'll become as a worker. Neglecting these lessons will only result in struggles during your apprenticeship. However, if you commit to them, you'll reap the benefits. Companies pay attention to your participation and performance in class. No participation, no recommendations, no job. But if you engage and follow the lessons, you'll easily stand out as a valuable asset to any company, giving you a competitive edge in the job market. It's important to understand that securing a job is challenging. Before starting your apprenticeship, recognize that you're not just fighting for Jobortunity; you're fighting for your future career. Keep in mind that many youth in Arusha are studying tourism, some with diplomas and others with degrees. As a Hi5 student, you'll encounter them and must prove yourself as the best candidate. Thank you Jobortunity for your support. As a graduate, I'm passionate about seeing Jobortunity students excel. To the Jobortunity team of trainers and the rest of the team, you're making a significant positive impact on Tanzanian society. Keep up the excellent work! 🇹🇿❤️ #Jobortunity #GraduateTestimonial #PositiveImpact

    🌟Meet Kantona, a dedicated member of the Service Department at FiFis Restaurant, whose journey embodies the transformative power of education and opportunity. With four years of invaluable experience under his belt, Kantona's remarkable career owes its roots to Jobortunity. This organization not only provided him with essential training but also played a pivotal role in securing an apprenticeship that ultimately led to a promising job contract. Hailing from Karatu and facing the challenges of independent living in Arusha, Kantona's early days were marked by hustling to make ends meet. However, thanks to Jobortunity, his life underwent a profound transformation. The organization instilled in him the values of the Hi5 approach, offering young Tanzanians like Kantona a pathway to a better life. His three years of on-the-job experience at FiFis Restaurant were invaluable lessons in themselves, teaching him to think creatively and "outside the box" – a concept deeply ingrained in him by Jobortunity. Kantona expresses eternal gratitude for the life lessons acquired, which continue to guide him in his daily endeavors. Today, Kantona proudly upholds the Hi5 values in his daily work, showcasing a commitment to a future brimming with opportunities, even if they unfold at the pace reminiscent of the little finger of Hi5. His approach of taking little but smart steps serves as a guiding philosophy in navigating his career and life's journey. Join us in celebrating Kantona's journey and the transformative impact of organizations like Jobortunity. Consider donating to GlobalGiving to support initiatives that empower youth like Kantona to thrive and succeed. Together, we can make a difference! 🌍✨
