Karachi: K-Electric (KE) marked the successful completion of its two-year Lineworkers Apprenticeship Programme with graduating apprentices presenting innovative, practical projects aimed at enhancing safety, efficiency, and theft detection within power distribution systems. The projects were displayed at KE’s Distribution Network Academy (DNA), where the apprenticeship programme and training sessions were also held. This was the first time women were formally enrolled and trained as lineworkers under KE’s apprenticeship framework. A total of 28 apprentices, including 22 male and 6 female participants, completed the programme. During the concluding showcase, students presented several applied projects, reflecting their hands-on technical learning and problem-solving capabilities. The event was attended by KE’s senior leadership, including Chief Executive Officer Moonis Alvi and Chief Distribution & Marcomms Officer Sadia Dada, who engaged with apprentices, reviewed demonstrations, and interacted with instructors to understand the practical impact of the training.
