''I am Jeshika Laxman from Kampala, Uganda. I reside in Kampala with family staying near Uganda Kenya border in the area named Tororo.
My education background is quite strange and funny but also a unique one. Born in India but raised in Uganda, I pursued my education from primary to secondary in Starlight Primary School, Tororo then did higher secondary in Shree Swaminarayan Kanya Vidhya Mandir, Bhuj, Gujarat in India and later on moved to Nairobi Kenya for further education in Shree cutchhi leva patel samaj Australian college.
Education is one of the greatest achievements in one’s life and I do believe in it. I chose to study with ABE because it offers a comprehensive and practical approach to business education, focusing on real-world skills that are highly relevant in today’s global market. The curriculum covers key areas such as management, marketing, human resources and entrepreneurship, providing a solid foundation for my career ambitions.
In today’s competitive and talented world, HR plays a very great role in operating businesses and as we are in Gen Z, a lot of new thoughts are built in and thus HR exists to execute them satisfying each and everyone possible.
Getting socially involved is one of the coolest things for me and I love doing so therefore I chose to pursue Human Resources because I have a strong interest in understanding how organisations function and the role people play in driving success. HR offers the opportunity to work closely with individuals, fostering their growth and helping create positive, productive workplace environments. I’m passionate about addressing challenges related to employee well-being, talent development, and organisational culture, and HR provides the ideal platform to make a meaningful impact on both employees and the business as a whole.
ABE is more widely recognised in Kenya. In Kenya, ABE holds significant value, particularly in the business and management sectors, where employers appreciate its practical approach to business education. Many employers see ABE graduates as capable, with solid foundational business knowledge that can be applied directly in the workplace.
After completing my ABE studies I desire to do a job in the HR field and then after gaining experience and knowledge, I dream of opening my own plastic and paper recycling company in Kampala, Uganda.
The best thing about studying ABE is its practical, career-focused approach to business education. The curriculum is designed to equip students with real-world skills in areas like management, marketing, finance, and entrepreneurship, making it highly relevant to today’s fast-paced job market.
ABE also allows for flexibility, with various levels of qualification that can be tailored to a student’s pace and career goals. Moreover, the emphasis on practical application means that graduates are often ready to take on responsibilities in the workplace immediately, making ABE a valuable choice for those looking to enhance their employability and business acumen.
From studying ABE, I have gained a wide range of valuable skills that are essential for success in the business world. These include leadership and management skills, problem-solving and critical thinking and, communication skills.
These skills, combined with ABE’s practical approach, have prepared me to navigate complex business environments and make meaningful contributions to my future career.
Education is fun and interesting. The more you dive in the more knowledge you acquire so work hard and always dream bigger.
In the long term, I dream of opening my own recycling company with branches in all countries of East Africa and creating an environment where employees enjoy working and a stress free life.''
