Molatelo Legodi is a 29-year-old lady from Tembisa. She completed her matric in 2013. After her matric, she went to go complete her N3-N6 at a college in Ekurhuleni. She passed the following subjects: Mathematics, Engineering Sciences, Industrial electronics, Electrotechnics, Electrotechnology and Power Machines. She’s yet to complete her N6 Mathematics and N6 Electrotechnics so she can obtain her N6 qualification.

Molatelo is currently studying towards her Diploma in Small Business Management. She hopes to open a small electrical engineering company considering the level of unemployment in South Africa. She believes this qualification will make her well equipped to manage a business.

Molatelo did an internship in 2018 where some of her responsibilities included Solar System installations, issuing of quotations and tenders. After the completion of her internship, she was hired by a solar installation company where she monitored the operations and maintenance of the solar systems. In 2020 Molatelo did her NQF level 2 learnership with MSC Artisan Academy. Through this learnership, she learned how to use power tools, design, and construction of single and three-phase circuits as well as basic plumbing. During the course of her learnership, she was placed at Protea Metering for her work on integrated learning where she gained some experience in meter reading and meter installations.

Molatelo shared that through all her studies and work experience, she acquired extensive technical skills, computer skills as well as written and verbal skills. She prides herself on her ability to work well with people from diverse groups.

Molatelo came to know about Artisan Training Institute (ATI) while she was listening to Power FM. The CEO of Artisan Training Institute, Dr D Sean Jones was a guest speaker on the show, and he shared the opportunities that ATI has to offer.

Molatelo’s interest in ATI sparked when she learnt that ATI has the finest standard of technical skills training and that ATI trainees become more employable. She shared that she was impressed by all the good reviews about ATI on social media.

Molatelo believes she deserves this funding because of her strong passion for electrical engineering. She is willing to get her trade test against all odds. Molatelo highlighted that her ability to fit into confined spaces is what sets her apart from the rest.

Molatelo sees herself as a qualified electrician with a wireman license in the next 5 years. Her goal is to be employed while also furthering her studies.
