Maandagshoek
I wanted stable work, but with no experience, no one was going to give me a job - or at least a job where I would be making some good money.
My Uncle told me about the RIH Institute, in Bothashoek. I gained the practical skills needed and got the certification.
I did my apprenticeship, got employed (and even fixed my Uncle bakkie!)
Praktiseer.
After matric, I stayed at home for almost a year applying for jobs with no success. Everyone wanted experience.
At RIH Institute, I finally got hands-on training, not just theory. I worked on real machines and learned how the job is actually done.
Today I’m employed at a local company and earning my own income. I’m no longer waiting — I’m working.
RIBA-CROSS
I always knew I wanted to work with engines, but I didn’t know where to start. College gave me the basics, but I still felt unprepared.
RIH Institute gave me real workshop time and confidence in my skills.
After finishing my training, I was placed quickly and started earning. Now I’m building a future I’m proud of.
Steelpoort
I had the passion, but no one was willing to take a chance on me.
At RIH Institute, I learned by doing — every day in the workshop counted. I gained experience that employers actually respect.
I’m now working in the mining sector, supporting my family and growing in my career.
Ga-Pasha
I didn’t want just a certificate. I wanted a job.
RIH Institute gave me both — proper training and real exposure to the work. When I went for interviews, I could speak with confidence because I had done the work before.
I got employed soon after qualifying, and my life changed.
Steelpoort
Coming from a small village, opportunities are limited.
RIH Institute opened a door for me by giving me practical skills and guidance. The training prepared me for the real world, not just exams.
Today I’m employed, earning well, and helping my younger siblings see what’s possible.
