When Noncebo Ceba<\/strong>, a 30-year-old with a matric certificate and a passion for learning, came across the UIF opportunity on social media, she was actively searching for employment. Having previously worked in marketing and possessing basic computer skills, she saw this as a chance to grow her career and gain hands-on experience \u2014 and that\u2019s exactly what happened. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udcbc Building Skills Through Opportunity <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through the UIF-funded New Venture Creation programme<\/strong>, Noncebo was introduced to both classroom learning and practical workplace experience. Her practical placement was at Lularides<\/strong>, where she was exposed to real business operations \u2014 from fieldwork recruiting drivers to office-based monitoring of delivery systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI learned how the OneCart system works and how to manage driver operations effectively,\u201d she shares. \u201cThe Lularides team was always supportive and willing to help us understand the system and processes.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over time, Noncebo developed key professional skills \u2014 including advanced computer literacy, communication, planning, and time management. \u201cWorking with drivers every day taught me how to communicate clearly and stay one step ahead,\u201d she says. \u201cWhen challenges came up, like unavailable drivers or fuel issues, I learned to think fast and find solutions.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\ude80 Transitioning to a Permanent Role <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noncebo\u2019s dedication and growth didn\u2019t go unnoticed. Her strong performance and commitment led to her being offered a permanent position at Lularides <\/strong>\u2014 a major milestone in her career journey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was thrilled to be offered a permanent role,\u201d she says proudly. \u201cMy responsibilities now include monitoring drivers on the system, ensuring orders are delivered on time, and capturing new driver applications for OneCart and Woolies Dash. It\u2019s a big step, and I\u2019m grateful for the trust Lularides has placed in me.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf31 Personal Growth and Gratitude <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Noncebo, this opportunity is about more than employment \u2014 it\u2019s about personal and professional transformation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis role means so much to me,\u201d she reflects. \u201cIt\u2019s a chance to develop my skills further, take on new challenges, and contribute meaningfully to the company\u2019s success. I\u2019m proud to be part of the Lularides team and excited about what lies ahead.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udcac Message to Other Youth <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noncebo has a heartfelt message for other young people entering UIF programmes: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you get this opportunity, use it wisely. Be willing to learn, ask questions, and show your team that you\u2019re capable. Don\u2019t get distracted \u2014 your situation is not the same as your friends. Focus on your growth.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her story is a shining example of what\u2019s possible when opportunity meets commitment. At Lularides<\/strong>, we\u2019re proud to see learners like Noncebo turn training into transformation \u2014 and build lasting careers through hard work, learning, and purpose. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
