Mohammed, Electrical Installation

“ I went on a Spain trip to learn and develop a new set of skills abroad with the rest of my team. I was given this opportunity by Masood and Europe Connexion and my former teacher Adnan. I worked at a place called Teleplaca. I was learning about solar panels and renewable energy sources. The team were friendly and helped us understand the concept of work. We took daily Spanish lessons in Córdoba which helped us communicate with the locals and understand what they were saying. I give all the thanks to Europe Connexions for helping us and also big thanks to SCCB and Masood for giving me this opportunity.”
