Slovak term or phrase: spojová manipulantka

Dear colleagues,

I am currently translating a qualification: Vysvedčenie o maturitnej skúške. The qualification holder specialized in the field of "spojová manipulantka" at the Stredné odborné učilište spojov. I would very much welcome your help with the term "spojová manipulantka". How would this be best translated? Unfortunately, I do not have any more context for the term and could not find the description of the programme of study either as it was discontinued some time ago. All I have is the term and school that used to offer it.

Thank you very much for your help. I look forward to your suggestions.

With my best wishes,

Martina

Telephone operator

Explanation:
I would guess it's something to do with the old-fashioned switchboard operator, but as we're not sure/no context, plus these things are out of date nowadays, I would go for telephone/operator as a generic term, unless it is terribly important to know what exactly she studied (doesn't seem to be as there's no context)
