At MozParks, we understand that the future of our industries depends on the young minds of today. That’s why we’re always eager to create opportunities that connect education with real-world experience, helping to bridge the gap between the classroom and the workplace. In keeping with this mission, we recently had the pleasure of welcoming 29 students from the Instituto Industrial e de Computação Armando Emílio Guebuza to Beluluane Industrial Park.
The students, ranging from 17 to 19 years old, had the unique opportunity to visit two of our esteemed park tenants—Temoc and Bosch Rexroth. During their visit, they were able to see how these companies operate up close, gaining hands-on experience in mechanics and electricity. They had the chance to witness the inner workings of these businesses, allowing them to connect theoretical knowledge with practical application.
But the experience didn’t stop there. To complement their learning, the MozParks team also facilitated a job readiness training session, designed to give the students a deeper understanding of what it takes to succeed in today’s competitive job market. The training focused on essential skills and professional development, preparing them for future challenges they might face as they transition from students to professionals.
At MozParks, we are committed to fostering this kind of engagement. We believe that investing in the next generation is crucial to driving sustainable economic growth and ensuring that Mozambique continues to thrive. We are proud to be part of initiatives that not only inspire young people but also provide them with the tools they need to succeed.
We look forward to welcoming more students and young professionals to Beluluane Industrial Park, and we remain dedicated to creating meaningful opportunities that contribute to the development of Mozambique’s workforce and economy.
