When doing research on where to study, it’s important to make sure that the course that you choose aligns with your passion. If you aim to be more of a hands-on person, then studying at a TVET college could be best suited for you.

The demand for skilled artisans such as carpenters, toolmakers, fitters, joiners, or mechanics has grown in South Africa, despite the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, says Arjun Khoosal.

Khoosal is the co-founder of Kandua, an online marketplace for home services.

"I am a qualified Senior Electrician at Eskom based at the Kusile Power Station in Witbank. The practical training, advanced equipment that we were exposed to in workshops, and highly skilled lecturers laid a solid foundation for me to achieve success in my profession,” said a former electrical engineering student at Majuba TVET College, Snethemba Mpontshane.
