At ENGAUSA Global Tech Hub, every student carries a story of resilience, discovery, and transformation. One such story is that of Ahmad Adam Abdulkareem, whose journey from the classroom to becoming the breadwinner of his family exemplifies the life-changing impact of practical skills training.
Ahmad’s path to ENGAUSA began when his father heard about the hub through his employer. After seeing the remarkable work being done at ENGAUSA, Ahmad’s father knew it was the right place for his own child as well. He decided to sponsor Ahmad’s enrollment — a decision that would change the trajectory of their entire family.
At ENGAUSA, Ahmad underwent intensive training in CCTV installation, solar systems, intercoms, and access control installation. From the very beginning, solar installation stood out to him. It rekindled his childhood fascination with electronics, a passion that had already driven him to start learning electrical wiring before his training began at Engausa.
This passion quickly turned into opportunity. Immediately after completing his training at Engausa, Ahmad secured employment at a solar installation company. The CEO, impressed with his technical skills and professionalism, offered him a place on the team. Ahmad’s work began taking him across the country, well beyond his home in Kano.
The impact was immediate and deeply personal. One day, overcome with gratitude, Ahmad’s father called ENGAUSA’s CEO, Engr. Mustapha Habu Ringim, to share the incredible news: Ahmad had become the one providing for the entire family. What began as a simple enrollment had blossomed into a lifeline.
Yet Ahmad’s journey was not without challenges. He recalls a project in Benue State where he and his team could not secure accommodation and had to sleep on-site. These difficulties, he admits, built his grit and resilience, shaping him into a stronger professional. As Engr. Ringim reminded him during their conversation, “Challenges like these are part of the journey. They are lessons you don’t learn in the classroom. Success comes from persistence, even when the road is tough.”
Ahmad’s story came full circle in a remarkable way. One day, he found himself working in the home of his father’s employer — the very person whose son’s enrollment first inspired Ahmad’s journey. When the employer asked about the cost of the solar repair, he was astonished to learn that Ahmad had carried out the work, and free of charge. Deeply moved, he made a life-changing decision: he would sponsor 1,000 young people to study at ENGAUSA. This commitment has already begun through a newly established foundation, ensuring that Ahmad’s story becomes the seed for thousands more.
Reflecting on his journey, Ahmad urges fellow youths not to wait endlessly for white-collar jobs but to seize opportunities to upskill themselves. “Becoming a skilled youth opens multiple doors of opportunity,” he insists, and his life stands as proof.
From a curious boy fascinated by electronics to a graduate providing for his family and inspiring a movement, Ahmad’s story embodies ENGAUSA’s mission — to empower young people with relevant, practical skills that break barriers, transform lives, and build a brighter future.
