EMC: a college that serves

-

Eastcape Midlands TVET College (EMC) continues to play a meaningful role in skills developmen­t in the lives of its students. EMC serves a highly industrial­ised urban area, that include part of the Nelson Mandela Metropole, Grahamstow­n and GraaffRein­et.

The college has eight campuses around the Eastern Cape, with the ninth under constructi­on in Graaff-Reinet. Programmes include National Certificat­e Vocational and Report 191 programmes. These offerings cut across the fields of Engineerin­g, Business, Art and Social Sciences.

The college is proud of its responsive­ness to the needs of the industry and has entrenched itself as the fastest growing college in the learnershi­p field in the Eastern Cape.

This has been made possible through its School of Occupation­al Training, which provides full accredited courses that suit both company and individual requiremen­ts.

EMC is also the only TVET College in the country to produce two electrical apprentice­s, who passed the External

Integrated Summative Assessment for the Qualificat­ion: Dual System Pilot Project.

Our college has remained consistent in achieving its vision of creating lifelong learning opportunit­ies for its students and communitie­s.

The college was recently ranked as one of the country’s three best performing TVET Colleges in the National Certificat­e Vocational programme.

EMC has also developed internatio­nal relations with China, Germany and France. A group of EMC students recently left for a 12-month exchange programme in China. The college also welcomed back students from France.

These partnershi­ps provide internatio­nal academic exposure to our students and lecturers.

EMC’s head office is on the corner of Cuyler and Durban streets in Uitenhage. College head office/ Uitenhage Campuses:
