“I chose the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) pathway because of my interests. Skills training is easier for me to understand as it is hands-on rather than theory-based. This means I am able to spot my mistakes easily during training and learn from them. It is a more effective way of learning. TVET is attractive because it focuses on a specific path while we are still in school. This allows students to have a clear direction about their career prospects and only focus on the field they are studying. I’m studying electrical technology and I like the part where we have to test each type of wire – live, neutral and earth – that we instal to avoid installation error. It’s interesting because I learn that every step leads to the final outcome and a mistake can have dire consequences.”
