We caught up with 2018 graduates Nina Joubert and Cassandra Fernandez to find out how they are staying focused and inspired during this challenging time.

Both Cassandra and Nina have grown in leaps and bounds in their short NPD careers in the brief time they have been working professionally in the Product Development industry since their respective specialization industry placements.  They are certainly setting benchmarks for young graduates and enjoying the challenges presented to them amidst the lockdown period.

Nina is NPD Manager at Ucook, a high-end, online, subscription-based dinner kit delivery service operating in the whole of South Africa.

Cassandra is the newly appointed NPD Manager for Amaro Foods, a respected company that produces and supplies bakery products for Woolworths nationwide.
