Nicholia prepares to enter the electrical engineering field

Nicholia Khumalo, 27, from Nongoma says the in-service training at ZAC has been a valuable experience. She started in October 2022 as an electrical engineering apprentice. After matriculating at Prince Ndabuko High School in 2023, she enrolled to study civil engineering at Tshwane North college but could not complete the qualification due to financial reasons.

She worked in the retail sector until registering for a diploma in electrical engineering at Barberton College. “After finishing my diploma, I applied for this post at ZAC, and they accepted me which was great. The experience I gained here is more than what I could have ever asked for,” she says.
