Meet Euphrasia Mulenga, the WorldSkills Champions Trust Representative for Africa. Euphrasia came to Zambia Air Services Training Institute (ZASTI) to study Information Technology with ZASTI's ICT department. She then enrolled to pursue aircraft maintenance engineering with ZASTI's Engineering Department. The World skills international competition is the largest vocational education and skills excellence event held every two years to showcase the importance of professional education and provides a forum for the leaders in the industry to share best practices.

Euphrasia joined WorldSkills Zambia, the local anchor for Worldskills International, a skills excellence organisation headquartered in the Netherlands. After successfully competing in various local competitions in aircraft maintenance, Euphrasia travelled to represent Zambia at an international competition in Abu-Dhabi United Arab Emirates, in 2017. Euphrasia was one of the only two female competitors in aircraft maintenance at the international stage. She was also the only competitor from Africa in the aircraft maintenance category.

In 2019, Euphrasia was named Africa's representative in Worldskills' prestigious Champions Trust. In 2020, Euphrasia will be travelling to London, UK, to attend a WorldSkills Training camp, as Africa's representative for the Champions Trust. A lot of opportunities lie ahead of Euphrasia in her career as an aircraft maintenance engineer. She joins the few women in Zambia who have taken up the challenge of pursuing careers in aviation. We Congratulate Euphrasia on her achievements, a proud aircraft maintenance engineer and true champion for Zambia and Africa!
