Graduation that shapes nations’ lives
Early Childhood Development (ECD) and Institute of Certified Bookkeepers (ICB) students from Nkangala receive their qualifications.
Nkangala TVET College is hosted a first of its kind graduation ceremony.
The ceremony was held at the Portuguese Hall on Thursday, November 11.
Students from the five campuses came to celebrate their achievements and to be recognized as the first group to graduate for Early Childhood Development (ECD) and Institute of Certified Bookkeepers (ICB) students.
Over 190 ECD students graduated while four students, unfortunately, dropped out.
Seventy-four of 100 ICB students also graduated and had a beacon of hope as they launch their new careers.
Nothando Masina, who was honoured as the overall achiever for ECD said that learning the course was a great experience, even though they faced some challenges along the way.
“We learnt about the development of a child, how to treat a child and the importance of being a caregiver to a child. I am very excited and I’m planning to open my own facility to fight against unemployment,” continued Masina.
The courses commenced in 2020, but due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the students could not finish their year course as they had expected.
Nevertheless, the students were overjoyed when they had a chance to walk onto the stage to receive their qualifications.
The school principal, Mr Cain Maimela said that this ceremony is a milestone for the institution as they are the first to graduate without the services of a service provider. “The college will try to work with SETA and DYDA to assist those who are willing to start their own businesses,” Maimela added.
