What People are Saying
I am very much looking forward to the 2021 edition of the Powerskills program. I had an incredible time and actually got inspired to start a new business following the offered presentations during Powerskills 2020 and I do thank the team in addressing current challenges.

I attended 9 different sessions and was inspired, empowered and finally learnt a lot. Looking forward to attending future sessions that your department organizes. It was a pleasure to meet you and talk to you too in break out rooms.

I want to let you know how much I enjoyed the conference last week. The quality of the speakers was uniformly excellent and I can’t believe I had access to it all for free!

Hannah
The event was so motivating, and the sessions were informative, resourceful and so interactive. Thank you so much for the opportunity to one and all.

Amtus
It was a great time to attend the PowerSkills 2020. The health crisis makes it easy to be stuck in isolation. Events like PowerSkills 2020 gives us a chance to spend some time together and learn from talented and gifted speakers.

I’ve been working for 30 years, and never asked myself some of these questions. Lots of food for thought today. thank you for pushing me out of my comfort zone.

Dear CATS Team, I participated in your virtual career conference on PowerSkills, and I thought it was an amazing event. It was also there where I heard about the services offered by CATS, and it made me want to reach out to find out more. CV, jobs, etc.
