MSc Polymer Science and Engineering Zimbabwe, February 2006 scholar
Innocent was born in 1973 in the Eastern side of Zimbabwe. He
studied for a National Certificate in Plastics and Rubber at Harare
Polytechnic College from January to December 1996 and became the second
best student in the class and was given a Plastics and Rubber Institute
award for this achievement. In 1997, he enrolled for a National Diploma
in Plastics and Rubber and qualified in 1998 and became the second best
student again, having achieved one Distinction and six credits. He then
went into industry and worked as a Quality Assurance Controller at
Megapak, before moving on to Technical Manager at Prodorite where he
worked for three years. In 1999, he did a Diploma in Marketing (LCCI
Diploma).
In 2002, Innocent was contacted by the Head of the Department of
Harare Polytechnic College to return to lecture in Plastics and Rubber,
as a full-time member of staff. In 2004, he enrolled for the Higher
National Diploma in Plastics and Rubber and received three Distinctions
and three Credits, graduating in 2005. Innocent also worked as
Assistant Programme Co-ordinator helping students and developing the
curriculum. When he completes his Masters, he intends to return home to
spearhead the launch of a degree programme in Polymer Science at Harare
Polytechnic College, as this is currently unavailable and there is a
large demand. "I'm delighted at having the opportunity to study for my
Masters at London Metropolitan University and extremely grateful for my
scholarship."
