tvet college courses without matric

On Thursday evening, President Cyril Ramaphosa presented the annual State Of the Nation Address and spoke about key issues plaguing South Africa. South Africa struggles with a rising youth unemployment rate and the lack of skills development that prevents the youth from successfully securing a job. 

In the past two years, Higher Education has seen growth in the number of enrolments in the Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) sector. This sector trains individuals in skills that are much needed in the country. The department has announced its plans on how it aims to meet the high demand for skills and supply of a much more skilled labour force.

After doing your matric, you might want to study at one of the 50 TVET colleges in South Africa. Funding should not be an issue as there is funding available at these institutions.

NSFAS has sent a communication to all TVET Colleges which state the advised application dates for 2022.

Higher Education and Training Minister, Dr Blade Nzimande has made a call to employers to consider opening up their businesses for the placement of Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) college graduates. 

Electrical engineers will play a central role in developing and testing the smart technologies and infrastructure set to power the world going forward. Here's where you can find colleges in South Africa that offer electrical engineering.

The curricula of South African public universities and TVET colleges goes through thorough review and assessments to ensure that the skills offered in these institutions are relevant to helping boost the national economy. Currently, the government has an opportunity for a cohort of students that have a scarce skill under their belts.

South Africa has 50 TVET Colleges where you can go to further your studies. We'll be giving you some insight into TVET Colleges as well as the type of courses offered at TVET Colleges.

Minister Nzimande has revealed that the department of Higher Education and Training will review TVET college programmes. This is in an effort to ensure that students graduate with qualifications that will enable them to be skilled in line with industry needs and that of the society at large.

TVET colleges and NSFAS extended applications due to the publication of matric results. Orbit TVET College has also done the same for the 2022 academic year.
