Used to mess around fixing old radios 📻 as a kid. Now I’m installing solar panels ☀️ at schools after TVET training. Crazy how skills can literally light up lives. #SkillsInAction @NalediElectra

Who knew cassava 🌱 could pay bills? TVET in agribiz taught me how to turn roots into snacks 🍪 and flour. Running a small co-op now and loving it. #SkillsInAction @ChikeAgroBiz

Most of my boys left looking for work ✈️. I stuck with TVET, learned mechanics 🔧, and opened a bike repair shop 🚲. Now I’ve got apprentices learning from me. Skills pay. #SkillsInAction @AyoMechanic

Started stitching clothes 👗 for my sisters. TVET in fashion design turned that hustle into a business 💼. Training girls now and we only use recycled fabrics ♻️. #SkillsInAction @LeilaThreads

No clean water 💧 in my hood used to be normal. TVET gave me plumbing skills 🔩 and now me + my crew are installing boreholes. Seeing people get safe water hits different. #SkillsInAction @BonganiWater
