When it comes to choosing an academic programme to study, that leads to good employment, be sure to look at occupational programmes which prepare a student for a specific occupation.
This is the advice from Ruan Venter, registrar of Boston City Campus and Business College.
Listed below are distinct advantages to studying these courses:
1. Register at any time – due to the training methodology, students can register for occupational programmes at almost any time.
2. A National Senior Certificate or National Certificate (Vocational) may not necessarily be required.
3. Opens doors to higher learning.
4. Short courses – most occupational programmes can be completed within a 12-month period.
5. Employment ready – occupational programmes are less theoretical in nature and tend to be more practically orientated in their teaching methodology and learning outcomes.
“Boston’s provision of a wide range of occupational programmes is important in meeting the institution’s mission to provide quality and relevant education and training to all its students and to create a culture of lifelong learning, correcting inequalities and underscoring aspirations as specified by the Council on Higher Education,” said Venter.
“The institution’s education offerings serve to meet the needs of employees and professionals to continually upgrade their skills and knowledge.
“Furthermore, our offerings enable access to higher education to those who were denied or may not meet the formal requirements for high education.”
Boston City Campus and Business College offers a variety of occupational programmes in fields such as health, sport and wellness, secretarial, public relations, business communication and service to mention a few.
