F’SASEC VUT students “Vision 2020”
The French South African Schneider Electric Education Centre (F’SASEC) warmly welcomed this year’s students on 17 February.
The current cohort of students is named “Vision 2020” and is divided into two groups of 23 students each to make it easier for lecturers and students to build an educational relationship. The name “Vision 2020” is in hope of the students growing insights and understanding the electrical engineering industry far better.
On 25 February, Vision 2020 partook in an induction to prepare them for the use of the F’SASEC labs and facilities.
Mr Potego Morwamotshe, facilitator at F’SASEC, said that the main purpose for this induction was to familiarise students with the rules and regulations as well as the importance of safety in electricity. Mr Morwamotshe added that the rules are the first thing students need to know and adhere to before they can start with their practical’s. “I have to make sure that they understand all these rules,” he concluded.
Mr Riaan Greeff, F’SASEC Co-ordinator noted: “Our goal this year as F’SASEC is to make sure students believe more in themselves.” He elaborated on how the team always encourages students to ask questions and participate in lectures because that is vital for self-empowerment.
F’SASEC is looking forward to having a productive year filled with determination and one that will be memorable and successful for Vision 2020.
