Schneider Electric has expanded its presence in African technical education through a strategic partnership with TEVETA Malawi and Don Bosco Youth Technical Institute. The collaboration launches a state-of-the-art Schneider Electric Lab in Lilongwe, equipped with advanced industrial automation training tools. Strengthening Malawi’s vocational training infrastructure, this initiative is part of the larger F'SASEC network, which connects several technical institutes across Southern Africa.
The new lab addresses a critical skills gap in Malawi's electrical engineering education by offering hands-on experience in industrial wiring solutions and automation technologies. Students are now gaining real-world training, ensuring they are prepared for careers in industrial automation and electrical systems. By integrating practical engineering training with global electrical industry standards, graduates will be better positioned to meet market demands.
Don Bosco Youth Technical Institute is inviting local industry partners to leverage the facility for workforce training, ensuring the continuous development of a technically skilled labor force. This partnership reinforces Schneider Electric’s sustainability initiative while fostering technical workforce development in Africa.
As part of its long-term commitment to sustainable energy education and vocational skills development, Schneider Electric aims to build industry-ready talent by providing advanced technical training solutions. The lab is designed to promote innovation and enhance the capabilities of African technical institutes, ensuring that vocational training keeps pace with the evolving needs of the electrical sector.
