Schneider Electric is excited to announce its partnership with Don Bosco Youth Technical Institute in Malawi, and Don Bosco in Mozambique. The partnership sees Schneider Electric, under the auspices of the Schneider Electric Foundation, providing professional didactic benches for training purposes to these institutions.
Don Bosco Mozambique and Don Bosco Youth Technical Institute form part of the French Southern African Schneider Electric Education Centre (F’SASEC) network, which includes South African tertiary education providers such as the University of Johannesburg, Vaal University of Technology, Cape Peninsula University of Technology, Sedibeng TVET College, College of Cape Town, Eastcape Midlands College, and Ukufunda Youth Development.
Don Bosco Malawi and Don Bosco Mozambique have both received shipments of didactic benches, and training is currently underway. The aim of the partnership is to support the education of students pursuing a career in the electrical industry, providing vocational training that is current and meets global standards. “Training on didactic benches offers real-world practical scenarios and problem solving, that are invaluable when pursuing a career in the electrical industry,” says Avin Ramjeeth, projects and offer manager at Schneider Electric Academy.
The Schneider Electric Foundation contributes to the Schneider Sustainability Impact programme which is in line with the UN’s sustainable development goals. It focuses on training and empowering one million young people by 2025, and providing skills and entrepreneurial opportunities that benefit both the youngsters themselves and their local communities.
