Tressure Mokgohloa is widely recognised for his outstanding proficiency in the field of science and technology. His passion for science originated during his early childhood, specifically in 2009 when he
began writing professionally and conducting scientific research projects for science expos as a young scientist, in which he won an award for best innovation and technology. He
has written many publications throughout his career. His latest achievement is co-authoring a tutorial book on commissioning cyber physical systems and digital twin with Dr. Tobias Schubert.
In 2015, he became a Mechatronics competitor, joining the global skills movement. He also made a notable appearance on SABC 1, where he discussed the fascinating topic of Mechatronics. Currently, Mokgohloa
holds the esteemed position of an expert at WorldSkills, specialising in Mechatronics and Industry 4.0. In his role, he designs and writes test project instructions, as well as oversees skill competitions.
Since 2018, he has been serving as a national expert in Mechatronics and an advisor at WorldSkills. He played a significant role in designing test projects for WorldSkills Africa 2016-18, as well as developing
Mechatronics trade test tasks for the National Artisan Moderation Body (NAMB) from 2022 to the present. Furthermore, he serves as a company mentor in the German - South Africa Mechatronics Dual vocational project.
With an impressive ten years of experience in the automation industry, he travels around the world to provide technical training for participants in both the Education and Automation sectors. Mokgohloa holds a
National Diploma in Electrical Engineering and is a certified master trainer at the German Chamber of Industry and Commerce.
In 2020, he embarked on the endeavor of recording a series of Mechatronics lectures to support Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) engineering learners. This initiative demonstrated his commitment
to enhancing the skillset and knowledge base of aspiring engineers by providing them with access to high-quality educational resources. The lectures covered a wide range of topics in the field of Mechatronics,
combining principles from mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and programming. Through these lectures, he aimed to bridge the gap between theoretical learning and practical application, equipping students
with the essential tools and concepts needed to succeed in their careers. By leveraging technology and sharing his expertise through recorded lectures, he not only contributed to the advancement of TVET education but
also inspired a new generation of skilled professionals in the field of engineering.
