Lebohang Mofokeng enrolled in the Accenture/KLM Programme in October 2018. Lebohang lives with a congenital deformity of the hips, and says that she felt discouraged before she joined the Skills Development Academy. “Tshimologong offered me an opportunity that gave me hope, confidence and certainly equipped me and continues to equip me with skills that I am sure to use (in) the 4th Industrial Revolution.” Lebohang credits Tshimologong’s inclusive policies and willingness to cater for people who live with disabilities for affording her the opportunity to participate in this Programme. "I am eternally grateful for that"
