Good day to every one reading this.


I'm currently studying electrical engineering (N.Dip) and I am also a qualified electrician. I will be completing my course by the end of this year,
so I have started looking for companies that employ students that needs to complete there P1 and P2 ( the 2 practical semesters after the 4 theoretical semesters ).
The problem is I live in Bloemfontein and would like to stay here, but most of the companies are situated in Johannesburg or somewhere in Gauteng.

I still have 6 months before I finish, so I guess the question is, what can I do to make myself more attractive to prospective employers? or
How to reach more employers to better my chances of finding work in Bloemfontein?

I've already started doing online programming courses in Python and I do have two and a half years working experience as an electrician.

Would advanced programming languages like Python even help my chances, or should I rather look into PLC programming and ladder logic.


Any help or advice is more than welcome.
(BTW I hope this is the correct form?)
