Arrived at Target for a professional traineeship of 3 months, these two students of ENA “learnt a lot about market research environment”.

As for Gady PHAKA, assigned at the Projects’ Department, the traineeship within Target Agency is “a very critical period for his career”.

During his traineeship, Grady especially took care of the design of questionnaires for qualitative studies reports drafting, design of discussions’ guides, counting and analysis of results. All this, by having a close look on the checking of data consistency before analysis and comments.  

Pleasantly surprised by the serious job Target is achieving in studies performance, Grady much appreciated “the working spirit and culture found at Target”. Values that “he would like to see within public service clerks”. As he stated. 

Hortense MBUMBA, Project Manager within Target and Gady’s traineeship supervisor,  praise this young economics graduate on his quick adaptation.

Yet one thing which is absolutely amazing, he adapted quite well; especially as regards subjects such as data analysis and processing, research of additional information to support the results”, stated Hortense MBUMBA. Before concluding with a piece of advice for trainees: they should make sure to have relevant information when coming to carry out a professional traineeship.
