"Before joining Kiwaad's Pankh Program, I had no idea how to enter the retail sector or what skills were needed. Coming from a humble background, I lacked confidence and exposure. The training I received through the Retail Management Program transformed my personality. I learned about customer service, store operations, grooming, and communication skills. The trainers were extremely supportive and helped me prepare for real job interviews. Today, I'm proud to be working at Westside, interacting with customers every day and growing professionally.
