In a groundbreaking move, the People’s Innovation Training Institute orchestrated its inaugural field trip for budding engineering scholars.
Established in 2021, this institution has been a stronghold of quality education, offering scholarship-based courses such as computer office applications, computer hardware, and industrial automation.
Aimed at aligning with government policies advocating free, high-caliber learning, the Institute’s recent feat reflects its commitment to bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application.
The visionary behind this endeavor, Ing. Mohamed Gbla, founder, and CEO of the Institute, articulated his conviction that while theoretical insights are essential, they alone are insufficient in preparing graduates for real-world engineering challenges.
The absence of practical exposure often leaves many students struggling to recognize industrial machinery and equipment. To address this, the Institute decided to inaugurate its first-ever field trip, exposing its engineering aspirants to the tangible world of their chosen discipline.
Ing. Mohamed Gbla emphasized the importance of hands-on experience and the ability to comprehend industrial tools like conductors, insulators, and buzzer alarms.
The Institute, with its rigorously accredited certificate programs, garners approval from the Ministry of Technical and Higher Education. Aligning with the national education agenda championed by the esteemed President, the Institute positions itself as a torchbearer for educational advancement.
Hawanatu Bangura, a trailblazing student hailing from the Industrial Automation Department, proudly represents the face of women empowerment in the engineering realm.
Despite being the sole female student in her department, she shines as a beacon of strength and resilience.
Surpassing her male counterparts academically, Hawanatu envisions herself as a future industrial automation engineer.
Her journey into the industry, facilitated by the Institute’s innovative field trip, is a testament to the Institute’s commitment to nurturing diverse talent.
Hawanatu Bangura believes that women’s inclusion in engineering will pave the way for smoother progress in nations’ developmental roadmaps.
Expressing her gratitude for the affordable and comprehensive learning environment, she applauds Ing. Mohamed Gbla’s dedication to fostering a generation of skilled professionals.
This momentous field trip marks a turning point, offering a glimpse into the expansive world of engineering and inspiring a new cohort of experts poised to shape the future.
I have seen there laboratory for there Computer studies and Automation Engineering. It’s really amazing because Ing. Gbla is really working hard in his own little way to capacitate those laboratory. Giving incentive to Tutors
It’s really amazing to see such Sierra Leonean who put the interest of developing the middle man power of the country
Ooh that’s great to see such course in sierra leone. One will not travel to other parts of the world to study Industrial Automation Engineering. This will close the gap for the demand of such people into the mining and process industries. If all things been equal then no foreign Automation Engineers will come in sierra leone to solve problems on Automated machines.
Automation in Sierra Leone is an ideal program that will give Sierra Leonears the innovation in developing our own innovatives for communities, Society and even the nation at large, if there is a trend of Unit/Good heart.
