Episode Details

Getting the qualification is one thing. Building a career that continues to grow is another.

In this episode of The Enlightened Podcast, Luyanda Khumbuza is joined by Comfort Tshisikule, Youth and Learning & Development Lead at Nestlé East and Southern Africa, and Caroline Irambu - Setshedi, a commercial finance professional with more than 15 years of experience in the retail industry, for a practical conversation about what it really takes to build career capital.

Together, they unpack the skills, relationships, experiences and professional credibility that can shape long-term career growth — particularly for young people trying to find their footing in an increasingly competitive world of work.

The conversation explores the difference between being qualified and being employable, building experience when you’re just starting out, developing workplace credibility, finding mentors and sponsors, demonstrating leadership before you have the title, and continuously developing the skills that keep you relevant.

Because getting your first opportunity matters.

But what you intentionally build after you get through the door can shape the trajectory of your entire career.

Thank you so much for tuning in on todays episode of The Enlightened Podcast.
