Heavy Equipment Repair

INSTITUTIONS OFFERING HEAVY EQUIPMENT REPAIR LISTED AT THE BOTTOM

WHAT IS HEAVY EQUIPMENT REPAIR AND WHO IS A HEAVY EQUIPMENT TECHNICIAN?

This program is also known as heavy-duty equipment mechanics. It is a branch of mechanics that specialises in working with heavy machinery used in construction, farming, and railway transport. They work with big engines, inspecting, servicing and repairing any damage to the engine or vehicle. It is similar to automotive mechanics in many ways, the major difference in these two fields is that in heavy equipment repair the mechanic deals with very big machines with big engines while an auto mechanic only looks at small vehicles. A person who therefore is skilled in heavy equipment repair can be called a heavy equipment technician or mechanic.

WHERE DO HEAVY EQUIPMENT MECHANICS WORK?

Heavy equipment mechanics work in places where you find heavy equipment. Heavy equipment can be defined as heavy duty vehicles which are designed for doing construction tasks especially work that involves moving very heavy things such as rocks. Examples of these heavy machines include cranes, graders and bulldozers. Therefore, heavy equipment mechanics work in places with heavy equipment dealers, servicing companies and companies that own and operate heavy equipment. The places that make use of these machines include mines, railway systems and companies, commercial farms, construction companies etc., and this is where you find jobs for heavy equipment mechanics.

WHAT TASKS ARE INVOLVED IN THE WORK?

The tasks involved at work include the inspection of the machines so that they perform well and also to inspect for machines that may have problems. They investigate and look for the problems using testing equipment to determine the problem and how big the problem is. After finding the problem, they make adjustments to the machine and repair or replace parts, components or the whole system using hand or power tools. They also test the machines to ensure that they have been fixed well. They clean, lubricate and perform maintenance of the equipment especially on the engine and other moving parts such as the moving part of a crane.

WHAT IS THE WORK SCHEDULE OF A HEAVY EQUIPMENT MECHANIC?

The work schedule of a mechanic depends on where they work. Some companies may want to have a mechanic in the night because the company may operate in the night. But generally, there are no shifts in this job and the mechanics are usually called in if something goes wrong with the machines.

WHAT DOES THE JOB MARKET LOOK LIKE?

As stated above, the heavy equipment mechanics work in places where you can find the heavy machines working. In our case, the mines e.g. Kalumbila and Mopani copper mines and First Quantum minerals and small scale mining companies form part of the job market. Companies that have these machines (mobile cranes, self-loading trucks and forklifts etc.) for hire such as ECSTAL plant hire and Kings heavy machinery also employ them. The mechanics are also employed in commercial farms where their services are needed for the maintenance and repair of farm heavy machinery. The government through the city councils that have these machines such as graders also employs heavy equipment mechanics.

WHAT SORT OF CAREER-PERSONALITY MATCH IS REQUIRED?

The job of a heavy equipment mechanic is hands on and therefore on needs to be comfortable with working with their hands. One needs to have interest in physics, mathematics and technical drawing for the schooling in this program to be even more interesting and easier.

INSTITUTIONS OFFERING HEAVY EQUIPMENT REPAIR LISTED AT THE BOTTOM

WHAT SUBJECTS WILL THE PROGRAM COVER?

In the studying of heavy equipment the subjects that are taught include earth moving equipment technology, engineering science, engineering mathematics, engineering drawing, communication skills, workshop practice and workshop process and management.

WHAT ARE THE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS?

The entry requirements for heavy equipment repair at diploma, technician and craft level are a full grade 12 certificate with five ‘O’ level credits in subjects including Mathematics, English, Science. Entry requirements at the Trade-test level is a grade 9 or grade 7 certificate.

WHAT OTHER PROGRAMS OF STUDY CAN MAKE SOMEONE A HEAVY EQUIPMENT MECHANIC?

One has to study heavy equipment repair for them to be a heavy equipment mechanic or technician. But, an automotive mechanic can be skilled in a particular part of the heavy machines so that they have multiple skills that increase the chances of being employed. These courses are called bridging courses and one does a 6 months course (like at Northern Technical College, NORTEC) in a specific area like heavy duty engines, earth moving equipment braking systems, earth moving equipment transmission system. This bridging course requires that one has a certificate in automotive mechanics.

WHAT ARE THE FUTURE ADVANCED QUALIFICATIONS AVAILABLE AND WHY?

Further studies in this program are available in other countries but at the time of compiling this, there is no school in Zambia that offers a degree or a masters programs specifically for heavy equipment repair.

Geomatics Engineering

INSTITUTIONS OFFERING GEOMATICS ENGINEERING LISTED AT THE BOTTOM

WHAT IS GEOMATICS AND WHO IS A GEOMATIC ENGINEER?

If asked to define what geomatics or geoinformatics is, we could say it is a program that studies the methods and technologies that are used to collect, distribute, store, analyse, process and present geographic data. It can also be defined as the science and technology of gathering, analysing, interpreting and distributing spatial information. This program includes geodesy (measuring the shape, position in space and gravity of the earth and the changes of these with time), geographic information systems, global positioning systems, hydrography (making charts of water bodies such as lakes and rivers), mapping, photogrammetry (making measurements of the earth using photographs) and surveying. From this it is clear that this program teaches how to survey the whole or part of the earth using a number of techniques such as satellites, drones etc.

This program is of great importance because it allows us to have information about the earth and its natural resources such as rivers, lakes, minerals etc. This information is then used to make very important decisions such as whether a mine should be started in a particular area. We can therefore say that a geomatics engineer is a person who has the knowledge and skills to collect, analyse and interpret geographical information. This geographical information includes information like the landscape, streams, rivers, different kinds of vegetation and soil and man-made things such as factories and electric power lines.

WHERE DO GEOMATIC ENGINEERS WORK?

Geomatics engineers are employed in different places and sectors of the country. They are employed by the city council for a wide range of works which include helping with measuring boundaries and placing beacons for these boundaries. They are also employed by the ministry of lands for the same reasons as for the city council but here they are involved with a particular district, province or the whole country. They are also employed by water and sewerage companies for the purpose of hydrography which we defined as making charts of water bodies. Mines make use of their skills to help in the mining processes as they work with other types of engineers. Power companies such as ZESCO and network service providers e.g. Zamtel and MTN also employ these engineers.

WHAT TASKS ARE INVOLVED IN THE WORK?

The tasks the geomatics engineers will do is dependent on where they are working from. In the mines they provide accurate information to all other engineers about the how much area and volume of land has been mined and they also make precise maps of the surface and underground to show the situation and the progress of the mining plans. In the water and sewerage companies they help to locate and map the water bodies and how these can be accessed so that they can be used to provide water to people of a particular town. In the city councils and ministry of lands they may provide information about the land by making maps of different types. Some of these maps for example can be about the vegetation to show the effects of deforestation.

WHAT IS THE WORK SCHEDULE OF A GEOMATICS ENGINEER?

The work schedule for these geomatics engineers differs depending on where one works. But it should be known that a part of these engineers decide to work mostly on computers while the others work outdoors. Those that work in the offices work in the usual office hours that span from 8 to 17 hours, mostly Monday to Friday. Those that go outdoors to survey have no definite schedule. In those times, for example, when a new mine has to be made, they can be gone for some weeks to map the area before any mining works start.

WHAT DOES THE JOB MARKET LOOK LIKE?

The field of geomatics is relatively new in the country and some of the technology that is used in the field is quite new and only being introduced for use in our country. Many companies especially those that reach out to the whole country would like to map out their services. Mining being a major contributor of our economy allows most of these engineers to be employed in the mining industry. The job market is fair and it is increasing because technology like GPS are being used a lot as the world and the country also develops.

WHAT SORT OF CAREER-PERSONALITY MATCH IS REQUIRED?

The personality that goes well with this program is an outgoing and outdoors person. This is because the job is mostly about surveying the land. Although, even an indoors computer person can enjoy the work because some of these engineers work with computers that have been fed with information from satellites or drones. You need to have an interest in Mathematics, physics, chemistry and geography in order to enjoy studying this program.

INSTITUTIONS OFFERING GEOMATICS ENGINEERING LISTED AT THE BOTTOM

WHAT SUBJECTS WILL THE PROGRAM COVER?

Courses taught in this program include: engineering mathematics, engineering materials, statics, principles of surveying, engineering workshop practice, principles of remote sensing, computer programming for engineering, land management, engineering surveying, quantity surveying and estimation, photogrammetry, land administration and cadastre systems, principles of data acquisition and processing, geodesy, spatial modelling and analysis, digital image processing, geographical information infrastructure, mine surveying, error analysis and network adjustment, international boundaries, project management and more.

WHAT ARE THE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS?

Minimum entry requirements are 5 O’ level credits (grade 6) or better inclusive of Mathematics, English and Science. You need to have at least 12 points in your best 6 subjects at grade 12 in order to stand a good chance of being selected.

WHAT ARE THE FUTURE ADVANCED QUALIFICATIONS AVAILABLE AND WHY?

To advance your qualifications, you can study for a master’s in geoinformation, geodesy, mining surveying or other related fields. A master’s and other higher qualifications allows you to specialise in one particular field and increases your chances of getting a job especially in large companies. These opportunities are greater because, for example, the mines would rather employ a geomatics engineer with a master’s that concentrated on mining surveying than employ one with just a degree and therefore only a limited amount of knowledge in mining surveying. The other reason is that the masters allows the person to work for a university in the capacity of a lecturer in geomatics/geoinformatics.

Geology

INSTITUTIONS OFFERING GEOLOGY LISTED AT THE BOTTOM

WHAT IS GEOLOGY AND WHO IS A GEOLOGIST?

A geologist is a person who studied geology in university. Geology is the study of the earth materials such as soils, rocks, water, petroleum and minerals and processes under which they were formed. When geologists understand these processes under which the materials were formed, they use that knowledge to locate new mineral deposits or new water resources or petroleum that are useful in the economy of countries. Minerals provide sources of metals for industrialisation while water is an input in domestic homes and all forms of industries and agriculture.

WHERE DO GEOLOGISTS WORK?

Geologists can work for the department of water affairs for the government where they explore for new sources of water, typically ground water. Also, non-governmental organisations like the world Vision or SNV can employ geologists to help them locate good sources of ground water that they can access using boreholes typically in rural areas for rural communities to use. A geologist who specialises in water exploration is called a hydrogeologist.

A geologist can also work as a mineral exploration geologist for a mineral exploration company or for the geological survey department of the government to look for new mineral deposits. Mineral exploration companies are typically foreign private companies who come into the country to make mining investments. Once new profitable mineral deposits have been discovered, a mine such as that of Copper on the Copperbelt province is opened. At the mine site, a geologist continues to direct the mining company in terms of the quality of the mineral at each stage of the mining process. At the mine site, a geologist also helps to locate ground water and pump it out so that mining activities are not disturbed by flooding of water.

WHAT TASKS ARE INVOLVED IN THE WORK?

For the geologist who works in water exploration (hydrogeologist), their day to day job involves going out in the field with special equipment called geophysical equipment that is used to take measurements of specific factors on the ground. From those measurements a hydrogeologist will sit on the computer to use a computer software that will help the geologist interpret those readings to be able to know if there is water below the ground and at what depth and what the volume of the water is. Then boreholes can be drilled to confirm the presence of that water and borehole pumps are installed for people to access that water.

For the geologist who works in mineral exploration, it involves going out in the field in remote areas to stay there for a few weeks typically. This is because areas where mineral exploration occurs are typically remote. In the field, a geologist will collect soil samples and rock samples that are taken to the laboratory for chemical analysis to determine if the soil or rocks have minerals in them. If the soils and rocks show signs of minerals in them, the geologist will drill into the ground using drilling machines and bring out rocks from depths as deep as 1000m below ground in a systematic pattern to define the size and quality of the mineral deposit. A mineral exploration geologist also uses geophysical machines like the ones a hydrogeologist uses to measure factors in the ground that could indicate the potential of minerals even before drilling into the ground is done.

WHAT IS THE WORK SCHEDULE OF A GEOLOGIST?

The work schedule or shifts of a geologist depends on the organisation one is working for. If one is working for a government department, they typically follow the normal 08hrs to 17hrs work schedule Monday to Friday. If one is working for a mining company, some mines work 08hrs to 17hrs while others have some geologists who have to work in the night shifts to monitor the quality of the mineral deposit being mined in the night. A mineral exploration geologist goes away from home for about 4weeks to 8weeks and returns home for a break of about 2weeks to 4weeks and repeats the process. This is so because they work in remote areas sometimes with no proper communication back home, depending on the company one is working for if they cant afford to buy satellite phones or satellite internet.

WHAT DOES THE JOB MARKET LOOK LIKE?

The job market for geologists lies in four areas and the chances of finding a job is explained in order of highest probability as follows. A geologist can find a job in a mining company, some mining companies continue to look for more minerals around the mine area. Therefore, the mine can have geologists working at the mine and working as mineral exploration geologists around the same mine. The chances are higher that one will find a job in the mine. Some companies are just mineral exploration companies before they can find a mineral deposit, therefore a geologist can find a job here as well. There isn’t a very good number of exploration companies, many of them explore for about 5 years, and if they don’t find anything to mine they close or move to another country and carry some of their geologists from Zambia. The government is another employer in its various departments such as the geological survey department or water affairs department or ZCCM-IH. Non-governmental organisations are another employer as discussed earlier.

The job market in the mining industry is sort of a see-saw, when the metal prices are doing well mining companies want to mine more and invest in exploring for more mineral deposits and when metal prices are low, they reduce labour and jobs are hard to find. It goes in those cycles. Typically, its not a very stable industry, but its worth the risk though.

WHAT SORT OF CAREER-PERSONALITY MATCH IS REQUIRED?

To enjoy being a geologist, you need to be a person who loves science based subjects. In your first year you will learn these and you need to pass them. After graduation, to enjoy work, you need to be a person who loves investigative science because geologists go out to collect data to interpret and make a judgement whether there is water or minerals below the ground. All that needs some good analytical skills and an interest in learning how to use computer software. Not to design software, but just to learn how to use them. You learn them on the job not really in school.

INSTITUTIONS OFFERING GEOLOGY LISTED AT THE BOTTOM

WHAT ARE THE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS?

As most science based programs, its competitive and entry depends on the levels of competition in the University. Typically, they look for 12points in six subjects and below which should include Mathematics, Science, and English with three other subjects.

WHAT SUBJECTS WILL THE PROGRAM COVER?

When one enrols into university to study geology, they will learn A level science in the first year i.e Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and in the following years they start to narrow down to more specific subjects of geology such as Petrology, Sedimentology, Economic geology, Geochemistry, Geophysics, Engineering geology, Hydrogeology and Mineralogy as examples of subjects to be covered among others

WHAT OTHER PROGRAMS OF STUDY CAN MAKE SOMEONE A GEOLOGIST?

To work as a geologist, there is no alternative qualification apart from earth sciences based qualification such as geochemistry or geophysics, but typically a Zambian geologist needs to have a degree in geology.

WHAT ARE THE FUTURE ADVANCED QUALIFICATIONS AVAILABLE AND WHY?

Once you study geology, you may decide to pursue a master’s degree in Exploration Geology, or Geophysics or Geochemistry or Business Administration or Mineral Resources Estimation or Hydrogeology. A master’s degree gives you a upper hand when it comes to finding new jobs in competitive environments especially abroad. It’s a sign that apart from general skills, you have taken keen interest to master one area of your job more than other people. With a master’s degree one would become a university lecturer as well

Forestry

WHAT IS FORESTRY AND WHO IS A FORESTER?

Simple definition of a forester is any person who has studied Forestry from a university. Therefore, Forestry is a natural science that involves the expertise of crafting, management, utilization, conserving, and repairing forests, woodlands, and related resources for human and environmental benefits. Forestry is practiced in plantations and natural stands. The study of forestry has segments that have a place with the biological, physical, social, political and managerial sciences.

WHERE DO FORESTERS WORK?

In Zambia, the major employer of foresters is the government under Forestry Department, Department of National Parks and Wildlife (DNPW, formerly ZAWA), Department of Environmental Protection, Natural Resources Department, National Heritage Commission and the Department of Climate Change. In addition to the mainstream government departments, most foresters are employed by the parastatal Zambia Forests and Forestry Industry Corporation (ZAFFICO). Several other potential employers of foresters include non-governmental organizations such as SNV, World Vision, World Wild Fund for Nature (WWF), Zambia Community Based Natural Resources Management (CBNRM) Forum, Centre for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), amongst several other organizations which deal in forestry and other natural resources related programmes. Learning institutions too such as Zambia Forestry College, Mulungushi University and the Copperbelt University do hire foresters.

Private companies such as the Copperbelt Forestry Company, Sikale Wood, Wood Processing Industries and many others that are in the value addition of timber business make up the long list of employers of foresters in Zambia. Consultancy firms too add to the list.

WHAT TASKS ARE INVOLVED IN THE WORK?

The forestry profession involves a wide range of tasks, with different educational requirements of either college diplomas, bachelor’s degrees, MScs and/or PhDs for highly specialized work. Industrial foresters strategize forest regeneration as well as sustainable harvesting. Urban foresters take care of trees and other vegetation in urban green spaces and parks. Foresters work in tree nurseries raising seedlings for woodland creation and other regeneration projects. Foresters also work to improve tree genetics for various purposes in research institutions and laboratories. Forest engineers develop new building systems and other related forestry infrastructure. Other tasks include crafting timber into finished products. Professional specialized foresters measure and model the growth of forests using geographic information systems. Foresters also fight insect infestation, disease, forest and grassland wildfire, but may also allow these natural aspects of forest ecosystems to progress when the probability of epidemics or risk of loss life or property are low. Additionally, foresters play a part in wildlife conservation planning and watershed protection. Foresters have also been mainly associated with timber management, especially through reforestation, maintaining forests at prime conditions, and effective fire control.

WHAT IS THE WORK SCHEDULE OF A FORESTER?

Foresters working in government departments typically have the usual work schedule routine starting at 08 hours in the morning to 17 hours later in the afternoon/evening during the normal weekdays. However, on special occasions or assignments, the work schedule is adjusted to suit the particular situation. The daily routine during normal weekdays for those in the private sector or NGO’s varies. Although by Zambian Labour Laws, normal working days in a week are from Monday to Friday, some private companies and NGO’s tend to adjust up to half day on Saturday.

WHAT DOES THE JOB MARKET LOOK LIKE?

The biggest employing sector of foresters in Zambia is the government and its agencies, non-governmental organizations and private companies in that order. The need for foresters has never been met due to the continuous increasing negative effects of climate change being experienced world over. Therefore, the job market is always open due to the need to conserve nature, as well as the demand for timber and non-timber forest products.

WHAT SORT OF CAREER-PERSONALITY MATCH IS REQUIRED?

To be a good forester, one needs to be both physically and mentally fit with a great enthusiasm towards protecting the environment. A great love for the outdoors will easily make one fit into the field of forestry because majority of forestry activities are undertaken outside.

WHERE CAN I STUDY FORESTRY, FOR HOW LONG, TO EARN WHAT QUALIFICATION?

For a Bachelor’s degree, one needs to undertake four years of studying either full-time or on a distance basis to complete at the Copperbelt University. A Diploma in Forestry however only takes three years of study to complete. Only the Zambia Forestry College offers the diploma programme.

WHAT SUBJECTS WILL THE PROGRAM COVER?

Upon being admitted into a forestry training program, one is expected to undertake A-level science courses (Mathematics, Biology, Physics and Chemistry) in their first year of study. Upon successful completion of the first year, some of the other courses that one will undertake include Silviculture, Land Survey, Soil Science, Agroforestry, Forest Engineering, Biometry/Statistics, Extension, Entomology, Beekeeping and Management/Administration just to mention a few.

WHAT MODES OF STUDY ARE AVAILABLE?

Currently, forestry is being offered on both full-time and distance basis at the Copperbelt University and Zambia Forestry College.

WHAT ARE THE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS?

Being a natural science, the basic entry requirements into a forestry training program at the two institutions mentioned above are 5 credits or better. However, there is a biasness towards Mathematics, English and sciences being mandatory.

WHAT OTHER PROGRAMS OF STUDY CAN MAKE SOMEONE A FORESTER?

Currently, no other field of study can completely enable someone do all tasks that a trained forester can perform. Other professionals such as Agriculturalists, Agroforesters, Wildlife Managers and Natural Resource Managers can only partly complement some minor works of a forester.

WHAT ARE THE FUTURE ADVANCED QUALIFICATIONS AVAILABLE AND WHY?

Being a broad natural science based program, there are numerous advanced options of study that one can pursue related to forestry. These range from pursuing advanced studies in fields such Soil Science, Biometry, Forest Management Sciences, Natural Resources Management and Conservation, Climate Change, Wildlife Management and Conservation, Geographical Information Systems, Business Administration, Forest/Natural Resources Economics, amongst several other options.

Fashion and Design

INSTITUTIONS OFFERING FASHION & DESIGN / TAILORING LISTED AT THE BOTTOM

WHAT IS FASHION AND DESIGN AND WHO IS A FASHION DESIGNER?

The program of fashion and design teaches the art of designing clothes, that both look good and serve a function, and also fashion accessories like hand bags. If you decide to do this program you may study the work of famous designers and the fashion culture of your country or the trending or most common fashion so that you learn how fashion designs come to life to become actual clothes. Because this course is an art you should know that it is very much connected to culture. This means that the clothes that you will concentrate on designing will be influenced a lot by the culture of where you are. Fashion designers are simply people who are skilled in the art of designing clothes and other fashion accessories.

WHERE DO FASHION DESIGNERS WORK?

When you decide to do fashion and design you can work for yourself by opening a shop of your own or you can work for a fashion and design firm. Upon getting their certificate, most fashion designers become self employed. Getting a job in a fashion house or firm can be difficult and holding higher qualifications can give you a better chance. Fashion designing is a skill that is dependent so much on the individual’s creativity and talent. Very talented designers may find themselves working for some of the big fashion companies and designer brands even with little or no formal education in the field.

WHAT TASKS ARE INVOLVED IN THE WORK?

The tasks that fashion designers have at work depend on where they work. If you are working for yourself as a fashion designer you have to design and make clothes usually by demand. This means you will create designs on request from your clients. Sometimes the clients may have an idea of the kind of design that they would like and will bring with them the material that they want to be used. In other cases, clients may just request you to make an outfit for them that they would like to wear to social event such as a kitchen party or a wedding and you, as the designer, will have to come up with the design and decide on what materials to use according to the customer’s taste. To aid the customers’ decision making, you may have to show them charts of different designs that they can pick from or you can make your own sketches on paper to show them. Once you have come up with a design, you can either present it to a tailor so they can make the actual outfit or you can make the actual outfit yourself if you have the skill of tailoring.

Working in a fashion house comes with more responsibilities. You may need to do research on what is trending in the fashion world and then make a decision on what to design. You will have to work in a team with other designers to come up with new ideas of clothes to make, make sketches of designs and oversee the production of these designs. You also are required to test and decide on materials, their colours and patterns for each design. Sometimes you can do fitting of clothes on models at fashion shows or photo shoots.

WHAT IS THE WORK SCHEDULE OF A FASHION DESIGNER?

Fashion designers that work for themselves make up their own work schedules depending on the tasks they have. Those employed by fashion houses typically work during the day from 08:00hrs to 17:00hrs on Monday-Friday. Work maybe done during the night and on weekends in the case where there are events that are coming up like a fashion week or when they have been booked, with a specific deadline, to make many clothes by an organisation or people going for some event.

WHAT DOES THE JOB MARKET LOOK LIKE?

The job market is tough for fashion designers because the fashion industry in Zambia is still developing and there are not that many fashion houses. As a result, most fashion designers are self-employed and make designs that they advertise on platforms like magazines and social media. It helps to be skilled in tailoring because that expands on the services that you can offer to your clientele.

WHAT SORT OF CAREER-PERSONALITY MATCH IS REQUIRED?

The personality that goes well with the program of fashion and design is being a person who is creative and artistic. Your knowledge and interest in colours, textures and shapes need to be good so that you can make clothes that stand out when you design them. You also need to be interested in fashion and fashion trends. You need to have an ability to draw and sketch.

INSTITUTIONS OFFERING FASHION & DESIGN / TAILORING LISTED AT THE BOTTOM

WHAT SUBJECTS WILL THE PROGRAM COVER?

The courses that you will learn in the program include clothing manufacturing, machine and sewing skills, pattern drafting, garment cutting, garment assembly, dressmaking, fabrics, design development, illustration and working drawings, layering and cutting of fabrics and many more.

WHAT ARE THE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS?

For the two year certificate in fashion and design you need to have a full grade 12 certificate, that is O’ level credits (grade 6) or better in any 5 subjects.

WHAT OTHER PROGRAMS OF STUDY CAN MAKE SOMEONE A FASHION DESIGNER?

An alternative program that you can pursue to become a designer is Tailoring and Design. Tailoring not only involves designing, but also cutting, fitting, altering, repairing and making clothes professionally.

WHAT ARE THE FUTURE ADVANCED QUALIFICATIONS AVAILABLE AND WHY?

You can advance your fashion and design qualification to diploma and degree level. Such advanced qualifications enable you to work for big fashion houses, companies and designer brands. However, in Zambia, at the time of writing this, only a certificate was offered in Fashion and Design.

Environmental Health

INSTITUTIONS OFFERING ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH LISTED AT THE BOTTOM

WHAT IS ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND WHO IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH OFFICER/PRACTITIONER?

Environmental health is about understanding the interactions of environmental factors with biological systems. Environmental health can be defined as the interconnections between people and their environment by which human health and a balanced, non-polluted environment are sustained or degraded. Environmental health is focused on the natural and built environments for the benefit of human health.

It can also be defined as a science of human injury and illness prevention as well as well-being advancement. This involves identifying and analyzing environments and hazardous agents while limiting exposures to other hazardous physical, chemical, and biological agents in elements that may affect health.

People who have studied environmental health in Zambia are commonly known as Environmental health officers (EHOs) but in other instances they are referred to as Environmental health practitioners or simply health inspectors and they have a duty to make sure that people’s surroundings are safe, healthy and hygienic.

WHERE DO ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH OFFICERS/PRACTITIONER WORK?

Environmental health professionals are usually employed by the government to advice on and enforce public health standards. However, many are employed in the private sector, the military and other third sector agencies such as charities and NGOs. Mining companies monitor environmental health, local councils monitor environmental health and the ministry of health also monitor environmental health.

WHAT TASKS ARE INVOLVED IN THE WORK?

Environmental health officers are responsible for monitoring and enforcing health and hygiene legislation. They also investigate when there’s an incident, such as pollution, a noise problem, toxic contamination, pest infestation or an outbreak of food poisoning. Monitors and improves public/environmental health standards. Environmental health practitioners play an important role in private industry and in the state sector in ensuring that proper standards are achieved. They do this through advice, education, monitoring and regulation.

Environmental health officers are responsible for monitoring and enforcing standards of environmental and public health, including food hygiene, safety at work, housing and noise and pollution control, preventing environmental health conditions injurious to health and promoting good environmental practices. They are most of the times in the community where they inspect premises, collect evidence from incidents and provide advice.

WHAT IS THE WORK SCHEDULE OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH OFFICER?

The work schedule for EHOs dependent on the organisation, terms of contract as well the work at hand, most EHOs have work schedule ranging from 08hrs to 17hrs from Monday to Friday. Most of their work are done in the field and are very much prone to long working hours as it has been seen during the Covid-19 pandemic.

WHAT DOES THE JOB MARKET LOOK LIKE?

Environmental health is one of the most marketable health professionals in Zambia. The government is the major employer of EHOs but they can also work in industries for large manufacturers, wok for occupational health and health consultancies. EHOs can also work for health related Non-Governmental Organisations such as CHAZ as well as in colleges and universities as lecturers.

WHAT SORT OF CAREER-PERSONALITY MATCH IS REQUIRED?

Being an Environmental health officer does not only require the love for science but also, to a great extent, the love for the people’s wellbeing. It is also important to note that an EHO may not be liked by everyone as he/she is also involved in the enforcement of the law through health public inspections. It from this understanding that an EHO should be able to work long hours in the field, able to work as part of the team, able to explain legislation and procedures to people from all backgrounds, and also able to analyze and solve problems.

INSTITUTIONS OFFERING ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH LISTED AT THE BOTTOM

WHAT SUBJECTS WILL THE PROGRAM COVER?

The combination of courses is different from various institutions but have a lot in common, from the University Of Zambia you will learn the A level sciences such as biology and chemistry as well as mathematics in the first year and eventually move to more specific courses in the second year such as ecological systems, food and science nutrition, human anatomy and physiology, principals of environmental health. From other institutions you will also learn writing or communication skills in the first year.

WHAT ARE THE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS?

It is very important to note that the entry requirements are very much dependent on the institution of interest as well as whether your application is for a diploma or degree program. In Zambia, diploma programs have relatively lower cut-off points as compared to the degree. At institutions such as the University Of Zambia and Copperbelt University, the cut-off points are higher than at other universities for the same program because of stiff competition for few places. In general you need to have 12 points or less in five subjects including Mathematics, Science, and English with two other subjects for a degree and 18 or less for a diploma.

WHAT OTHER PROGRAMS OF STUDY CAN MAKE SOMEONE AN ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH OFFICER?

Unlike other fields in Health Sciences, the path to being an Environmental Health Officer is not only restricted to Environmental Health. You can become an Environmental Health Officer also through the study in Environmental Science and Public Health. There are as well as other social science courses such as the Bachelor of Education in Environmental Education (B.ED.EE) from the University of Zambia, under the school of education that can lead you to becoming an Environmental Health Officer.

WHAT ARE THE FUTURE ADVANCED QUALIFICATIONS AVAILABLE AND WHY?

Environmental Health can be pursued from as low as a college diploma and be seen all the way through to a bachelors degree, masters and let alone a PhD in environmental health. Considering the relationship between Environmental Health and Public Health, you can also advance to masters in Public Health. The masters degree will broaden your chances of getting a job from institutions where a diploma or degree would not get you as it will also help you compete at a global level in as far as job opportunities are concerned. The advancement will further increase the level of salary and benefits that you will be able to attract as it will sharpen your understanding as well as your general skill in the field of study. When you pursue a masters in a different but similar program such as Public Health and Environmental Science, it can help you expand your field of specialty and hence broaden your chances of working with various institutions.

INSTITUTIONS OFFERING ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING LISTED AT THE BOTTOM

WHAT IS ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING AND WHO IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEER?

Environmental engineering is a branch of engineering that deals with protecting people from negative environmental effects such as pollution. It is also concerned with the improvement of the quality of the environment. An environmental engineer is someone who is skilled with the science of environmental engineering. These engineers use engineering, soil science, biology and chemistry in order to come up with solutions to the many environmental problems that people face in their day-to-day lives. They work to improve recycling, waste disposal, public health, and water and air pollution control. They are also involved in issues such as climate change and environmental sustainability.

WHERE DO ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERS WORK?

The environmental engineers work in any field, company or organisation that has an environmental department. These include the mines such as Mopani copper mines and other production or processing companies. They also work in the local government for city councils, and also in water and sewerage companies (e.g., Kafubu Water and Nkana Water) in the department of wastewater treatment and waste management. Environmental engineers are also employed by regulatory authorities such as Zambia Environmental Management Agency (ZEMA), Water Resources Management Authority (WARMA) and the Zambia Bureau of Standards (ZABS). Other employers include recycling companies and non-governmental organisations that have environmental related projects.

WHAT TASKS ARE INVOLVED IN THE WORK?

There are many tasks that an environmental engineer does at work. They design projects that lead to the protection of the environment. Examples of these projects include air pollution systems and reclamation of water. Reclamation of water is the process of converting household wastewater or industrial wastewater into water that can be reused for a variety of purposes. They monitor the progress of environmental improvement programs. An example of these programs includes the ‘Keep Zambia Clean’ campaign that aimed, among other things, at reducing the incorrect disposal of waste. When they are working for the government, they inspect industrial and other facilities and programs in order to ensure that they are following policies that have to do with protection of the environment. These policies include disposal of waste and wastewater and pollution e.g. air pollution by mines and some industrial companies.

WHAT IS THE WORK SCHEDULE OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEER?

The typical work schedule of an environmental engineer is from 08:00hrs to 17:00hrs Monday to Friday.

WHAT SORT OF CAREER-PERSONALITY MATCH IS REQUIRED?

An environmental engineer should be an environmentalist at heart, meaning they should be a person who is concerned with and/or advocates for the protection of the environment. This is what environmental engineering is centered around. An interest in mathematics, chemistry, biology and physics will make the study of this program all the more enjoyable.

WHAT IS ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING AND WHO IS AN ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC ENGINEER?

Electrical engineering is the branch of engineering that is concerned with the practical applications of electricity in many forms including the field of electronics. Electronics engineering is a branch of electrical engineering that deals with the uses of the electromagnetic spectrum and electronic devices such as transistors, capacitors and resistors. We can also define this program as the study, design and application of equipment, machines or devices and systems that use electricity, electronics and electromagnetism. Electrical/Electronic engineers are people who design, develop, test and supervise the manufacturing of electricity and electrical equipment/machines. They also maintain and repair these machines.

The field of electrical engineering has a number of branches and among them is electronics engineering. Other branches include power and energy engineering (generation, transmission and distribution of power), telecommunications engineering, microelectronics and nanoelectronics (dealing with items like microchips), instrumentation engineering (making devices that measure quantities such as temperature or pressure), to name a few.

WHERE DO ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS WORK?

Electrical and electronics engineers work in companies that produce, transmit or distribute electricity such as ZESCO and Copperbelt Energy Corporation (CEC). They also work in places where electrical and electronic equipment is manufactured. Other work places include factories and plants where the engineers maintain and repair the electrical equipment e.g., mines such as First Quantum Minerals or Konkola Coppers Mines.

WHAT TASKS ARE INVOLVED IN THE WORK?

The tasks that are involved in the work of electrical and electronics engineers depends on where they are work. Generally they design, develop and test electrical devices and equipment. These devices and equipment include power generators, communication systems, navigations systems, and electrical systems for aircrafts and automobiles. They also supervise in the manufacturing of these same devices. In Zambia, they do not manufacture most of these electrical or electronic equipment but the engineers are able to assemble the parts when they arrive in the country.

WHAT IS THE WORK SCHEDULE OF AN ELECTRICAL ENGINEER?

The work schedule of electrical and electronics engineer has the common schedule of 08:00 hrs to 17:00 hrs from Monday to Friday. Sometimes they may work on the weekends and night shifts depending on the company and department of the company they are working from. They can be called at other times apart from these when there is a problem that may need to be fixed e.g. a transformer that has developed a fault.

WHAT DOES THE JOB MARKET LOOK LIKE?

The job market for electrical and electronic engineers is fair as most graduates get jobs within a few months of completing their university stay. This may be because of the wide range of places where they work and the dependence of factories on electricity. Employment can be found in various sectors, although electricity production companies and the mines can be said to be the largest employers in Zambia.

WHAT SORT OF CAREER-PERSONALITY MATCH IS REQUIRED?

Electrical engineering is centred on electricity, the theories around it and how to apply it in many situations. This means that someone who wants to go into this program needs to have a good background and interest in physics, mathematics and chemistry.

Education with Science

INSTITUTIONS OFFERING EDUCATION WITH SCIENCE LISTED AT THE BOTTOM

WHAT IS EDUCATION WITH SCIENCE AND WHO IS A SCIENCE EDUCATOR?
Education with sciences is a diploma or degree awarded to students who complete the three or four year course of study in the field of science (major and minor in biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics) with major Educational courses.
A person who has studied education with science is called a Science Educator. Education is a profession that complements a range of personality types, though individuals who enjoy sharing their passion for science are ideal candidates. Science educators can major in a particular field such as Biology, Chemistry, Physics or Mathematics.

WHERE DO THEY WORK?
Science educators can work for government secondary schools and private schools as well as mission schools in various parts of the country as teachers. Every year teachers of sciences and mathematics get recruited by the government and they get posted in various teaching centres.

Those with majors in chemistry and biology can also work in food manufacturing and chemical related industries such as Nitrogen Chemicals of Zambia.

Graduates of education with sciences also work in banks and other business sectors. Because most jobs done in the banks are trainable, banks and other companies every year recruit fresh graduates to work as graduate trainees and upon impressing the employers, some graduates get employed permanently. This makes a degree in the field of science a general qualification that can land you a job from any company.

WHAT TASKS ARE INVOLVED IN THE WORK?
For the graduates who go on to become professional teachers of Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry and Physics in secondary schools, their day to day job involves, Planning lessons in specific subjects and present them to pupils using creative teaching techniques, Assessing the weaknesses, strengths and abilities of every student each week and address them appropriately, Maintaining obvious rules for a disciplined classroom that still allows pupils to feel comfortable asking questions and brainstorming and adapt lesson plans when class sizes change or pupils are struggling with a particularly difficult concept among other tasks.

For those graduates of education with science who get an opportunity to work in banks as a graduates trainee their tasks include: Developing innovative sales strategies to meet or exceed branch sales target, Maintaining customer portfolio and develop customer outreach and retention strategies, Making sales calls to customers and identify cross-sell opportunities, Informing customers about investment options and advantages and advising customers about loans, interest amounts and mortgage options among other tasks.

WHAT IS THEIR WORK SCHEDULE?

The work schedule or shifts of a graduate in Education with sciences depends on the organisation one is working for. For those that go on to become teachers of mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology either in government or private schools they work half office hours from 07hrs to 13hrs while some knock off according to their class time tables and their lesson plans.
If one is working for a government department or agency, they typically follow the normal 08hrs to 17hrs work schedule Monday to Friday.
If one is working for a bank, banks open at 08hrs and close at 16hrs for customers. After that they continue with the checks and balances behind closed doors until they are done that’s when they knock off.

WHAT DOES THE JOB MARKET LOOK LIKE?

The job market for someone who studies education with science is broad. Most jobs by business companies are trainable jobs and the chances of finding a job is high because the education with science is a general qualification. You can find can a job mostly in government in the education sector to start with because generally the qualification is meant for teaching.

Various Banks continue to look for more graduate trainees in various fields. Generally banks get graduates of degrees regardless of the field of study and train them. Therefore, graduates of education with science are likely to be recruited by Banks.

For those that major in education with mathematics, they have opportunities of working in government departments and agencies like RTSA as statisticians or the Central Statistical Office(CSO).

WHAT SORT OF CAREER-PERSONALITY MATCH IS REQUIRED?

To enjoy being a teacher in this field, you need to be a person who loves science based subjects. In your first year you will learn these and you need to pass them. After graduation, to enjoy work, you need to be a person who loves teaching and doing calculations because depending on what your major course was you need to teach in those lines. A good secondary school teacher can also help students get excited about education and motivate them to go on and find a career they love. You will also use proven teaching methods to teach pupils content that is necessary for passing required tests and exams. They must also create a positive environment in the classroom that is both disciplined and relaxed when necessary.

WHAT SUBJECTS WILL THE PROGRAM COVER?

When one enrols into university to study sciences with education, they will learn A level science in the first year i.e. Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology. They combine the A level sciences with educational courses like Introduction to Education and Communication skills. And in the following years they start to narrow down to more specific subjects such as mathematics with education, biology with education, physics with education and chemistry with education as examples of subjects to be covered as their major courses. For example, In a case where you major in Mathematics in second year you will study courses like linear algebra, Mathematical methods 1, Real Analysis, Introduction to Statistics and Probability combining with any two available educational courses like Education Psychology and Sociology of Education as well as Education Media Technology. In your 3rd year you will have to do courses like group ring theory, statistics, calculus, mathematics teaching methods and research methods. And in your final year you will have to study real analysis II, Mathematics Education project, statistics II, Complex Analysis, mathematics education and education management and administration as a minor course. All students are required to complete both teaching observation and to practice teaching at approved schools in the final year.

WHAT ARE THE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS?

At all the institutions the requirements are as follows: Grade 6 or better in English Language, Grade 4 or better in O’ level Mathematics PLUS Grade 6 or better in Biology (or Agricultural Science), Chemistry and Physics OR Grade 6 or better in Science, Biology (or Agricultural Science) and any other acceptable subject. But at UNZA and CBU most science based programs are competitive and entry depends on the levels of competition in the University. Typically, they look for 12points in 5 subjects and which should include Mathematics, Science, and English with three other subjects. These entry requirements may differ from institution to institution and from year to year actually.

WHAT OTHER PROGRAMS OF STUDY CAN MAKE SOMEONE AN EDUCATION SCIENTIST?

Students who enrol for education with sciences go on to become teachers mostly and if you study earth sciences based courses such as geochemistry, or any science like Biochemistry and geophysics can also become education scientists provided that they do the teaching methodology courses, but typically a Zambian education scientist needs to have a degree in science with education. Also, any science that is taught in schools, if combined with teaching methodology, a graduate in any science field can be a teacher.

WHAT ARE THE FUTURE ADVANCED QUALIFICATIONS AVAILABLE AND WHY?

Once you study education with sciences, you may decide to pursue a master’s degree in any field like the field of Business you can study Masters of Business Administration, in the field of health you can pursue master’s in public health and environment health among others. A master’s degree gives you an upper hand when it comes to finding new jobs in competitive environments especially in Zambia. It’s a sign that apart from general skills, you have taken keen interest to master one area of your job more than other people. With a master’s degree one would become a university lecturer as well.
