2016 has been an exciting year at Ekurhuleni East TVET College and it is always good to look back over the year and see all that has been achieved. A really affi rming highlight this year for EEC was that we were the only TVET College to date to have received an unqualifi ed audit with no fi ndings from the Auditor-General. In these challenging times when we hear so much about mismanagement, corruption and wasteful expenditure, it is so good to receive this acknowledgement of competent, effi cient management. For this I am deeply appreciative of the hard work, support and integrity of the College Council and the Management team at the College. I would also like to thank all our dedicated staff who work so tirelessly to ensure our students enjoy a fulfi lling learning experience during their studies. Each one of EEC’s lecturers, Programme and Campus Managers and support staff, plays an integral role in the intricate educational process and enjoys contributing to the progress and success of our students. Ms H.M. Sibande - EEC Principal Thanks to them, EEC is making its mark steadily as a stable College of choice. We hosted delegations recently from the Japanese and German International Associations of Cooperation (JICA and GIZ) who are interested in establishing working relations with EEC. GIZ is sponsoring our fi rst Dual System Pilot Project in Electrical Engineering where we were able to place all twenty-fi ve apprentices who were selected with host companies. EEC is one of only four TVET Colleges in the country to have been selected to run a Dual System Pilot Project.

I would like to take this opportunity as well to thank all our sponsors, partners in industry, the SETAS and the many companies which offer our students the opportunity of work-based experiential learning in their workshops and ofﬁ ces, for their invaluable support. Without your ongoing commitment it would not be possible to offer the wide range of relevant vocational training in many ﬁ elds that Ekurhuleni East TVET College is able to do – all of which contributes immeasurably towards creating a brighter future for our young people.

In conclusion, I wish each of you and your families a safe and happy Christmas and a healthy and successful year ahead in 2017. 12 NEWS THE SPRINGS AFRICAN REPORTER | www.africanreporter.co.za Friday, 16 December, 2016 Classifi eds www.africanreporter.co.za [email protected] 011 916 5301 011 918 6067
