Meet Ntombezinhle - IT Support Specialist
Ntombezinhle Thela has been fascinated by computers since a young age. To fulfil this curiosity, she has been working hard to turn her interest into a career in information technology (IT). In 2015, she joined Atlas Copco as an IT customer service engineer, and now works as an IT support specialist at Atlas Copco South Africa. Learn more about her experiences on the job and her views on career development in the company.
Atlas Copco is a diverse home with a caring culture. The company not only generously invests in my future, but also pushes me to be better whilst helping me get there.
Ntombezinhle in her work element
This is a not only a great opportunity for my personal career, but also inspires me to look at the bigger picture. At Atlas Copco, we believe “there is always a better way”. Now one of my life missions is to create learning and mentorship opportunities for young girls who come from less privileged backgrounds to develop their interest in careers that are today typically dominated by men, such as IT.
What do you think you’ll be doing in 5 years?
I hope I will be an IT programing expert at Atlas Copco, working in a team with many more women. Then we might also work on another “Future Fit Female Program”, discussing interesting questions with young girls, such as “Do you know the difference between dial up connection and wireless connection?” Maybe they can then become our future colleagues at Atlas Copco!
