Testimonials
The financial management sessions opened my eyes. I used to struggle with saving, but now I run a small business and track every shilling. This program changed my mindset.
I had no idea how to approach the job market after graduation. YSSM not only helped me secure an internship, but also prepared me with interview skills and a strong CV.
The business mentorship I received from YSSM was priceless. My mentor walked me through my business plan and even helped me pitch to investors. Today, my fashion startup is thriving.
