FOREWORD AND MESSAGE BY THE CHAIRPERSON OF THE COUNCIL
This strategic plan for Ekurhuleni East TVET College is submitted for approval by the Minister of
the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) as required by legislation. It takes into
account that technical and vocational education and training (TVET) colleges, as part of a dynamic
post-school education and training (PSET) system, should position themselves strategically in
terms of the strategic vision and goals of the Department. This strategic plan (SP) is a key platform
for implementing the strategic vision and goals of the Department as well as the strategic objectives
which Ekurhuleni East TVET College commits to in this regard.
This strategic plan is informed by the strategic plan of the Department (2015/16 – 2019/20), which
was developed on the basis of the 2019 Medium Term Strategic Framework (MTSF). Ekurhuleni
East TVET College will endeavour to support the achievement of targets in two sub-outcomes of
the MTSF, namely:
Sub-Outcome 2: Increased access and success in programmes leading to intermediate and high
level learning; and
Sub-Outcome 4: Increased access to occupationally directed programmes in needed areas and
expansion of the availability of intermediate level skills with a special focus on artisan skills.
This strategic plan unpacks specific interventions to be done by the college in 2017 to achieve the
objectives as set out in the 5-year strategic plan 2015/16 – 2019/20 approved in 2016. These
objectives are:
1. To provide quality technical and vocational education and training services and increase
academic achievement and success of students.
2. To have adequate infrastructure and systems in place to increase access and provide
effective services to students.
3. To develop partnerships and maintain good stakeholder relations to increase the number
of students who are adequately prepared to enter the labour market or further and higher
learning opportunities.
4. To ensure continuous business excellence in terms of good corporate governance and
effectual management of all college resources as well as information and data reporting.
5. To monitor and evaluate all college processes in terms of the TVET College Monitoring and
Evaluation Framework and report quarterly on college performance in this regard.
6. To be responsive to the demands of the market place and can transform and adapt quickly
and effectively to changing skills needs, with a special emphasis on artisan training.

3. SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS OF TVET COLLEGE
3.1 Performance Environment
Ekurhuleni is a Tsonga word meaning ‘place of peace (Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality
Integrated Development Plan (EMM IDP) 2015-16). City of Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality
covers an extensive area of about 1 975 Km2. EMM comprised of nine towns of Alberton, Benoni,
Boksburg, Brakpan, Edenvale, Germiston, Kempton Park, Nigel and Springs. Included in these
towns are 17 townships (EMM IDP) 2015-16).
Geographically, Ekurhuleni is uniquely situated. It borders the eastern part of Johannesburg and
the southern part of Tshwane. The
city spreads over 15.6% of
Gauteng’s land mass. It is the
fourth largest municipality out of all
metropolitan areas that currently
exist in South Africa. Ekurhuleni
has three big towns and they are:
Kempton Park, Benoni and
Springs. The climatic conditions
and irrigation systems in the EMM
make the land conducive for
commercial farming.
The economy in the region is larger
and more diverse than that of many
small countries in Africa. It
accounts for nearly a quarter of
Gauteng's economy, which in turn
contributes over a third of the
national Gross Domestic Product. Many of the factories for production of goods and commodities
are located in Ekurhuleni, often referred to as ‘Africa's Workshop'.
The network of roads, airports, rail lines, telephones, electricity grids and telecommunications found
in Ekurhuleni resembles that of Europe and America. It can be regarded as the transportation hub
of the country. It is home to OR Tambo International Airport; South Africa's largest railway hub; a
number of South Africa's modern freeways and expressways; the Maputo Corridor Development;
direct rail, road and air links connecting Ekurhuleni to Durban; the Blue IQ projects, with linkages
to the City Deep Container terminal; the planned Gautrain rapid rail link to Johannesburg and
Pretoria; and the OR Tambo International Airport Industrial Development Zone (IDZ).
Ekurhuleni East TVET College STRATEGIC PLAN 2017
12 | P a g e
Main Economic Sectors: Manufacturing (23%), finance and business services (22%), community
services (19%), trade (15%), transport (11%), construction (5%), electricity (3%), mining (2%)
Key industries such as aerospace, agribusiness, manufacturing and logistics; Rail Cluster
Development – based on the existing rail industry, including the new Rolling Stock Programme by
PRASA through the Gibela Consortium; production of the new passenger trains in Nigel is expected
to carry up to 70% in local content. The metro also boasts of a big commercial Vehicle Cluster.
The cluster is based on existing commercial vehicles and bus manufacturing industry. The current
BRT Roll-Out Programme has provided an opportunity for inward investment, local bus and related
components manufacturing for local procurement by the bus manufacturers.
Ekurhuleni East TVET College (EEC) is located in five towns of Ekurhuleni Metropolitan
Municipality (EMM). These are: Springs, Kwa-Thema, Daveyton, Benoni and Brakpan. There are
however six college sites that are spreading across the five towns. These sites comprises of five
campuses offering mainly NCV and Report 191 programmes while the sixth one is a centre of
specialisation. The campuses offering NCV and Report 191 programmes comprise of Benoni
Campus, Brakpan Campus, Daveyton Campus, Kwa-Thema Campus as well as Springs Campus.
One and the only centre of Specialisation which was established in 2015 is called Artisan & Skills
Development Centre which is situated in the industrial area of Springs town as well. The strength
of the College is embodied in its location in the EMM. Ekurhuleni has a total surface area of
1975km² that accommodates a population of 3 178 470 million (Source: Census 2011). This means
that the College has a large catchment area to draw potential students.
The strength of the College is also its access to manufacturing based industries. This has enabled
it to increase the partnership base. The City of Ekurhuleni’s economy and strength lies in the
comparative advantage of the manufacturing sector that is higher than in other areas.
The College have partnerships with the local paper factories, SAPPI, Kimberly Clark and Mondi in
offering NCV Process Plant Operations; three foundry trades (Melting, Moulding and
Patternmaking) are offered in partnership with local foundries, SAIF, CSIR and NFTN. A
partnership with EOH in placing students and offering soft skills as well business and IT
programmes is in place. Merseta is the lead-Seta of the College and all programmes in the
Mechanical Engineering are accredited and the Seta representative assists the College with
accreditation with other Seta’s such as MICT SETA, Services Seta, FP+M Seta, E+W Seta, etc.
The W&R Seta also signed and MOU with the College to open a Seta Office at the College. The

3.4 Description of the Strategic Planning Process
College Strategic Plan
Taking into account the situational analysis as described above, the college has developed the following
strategic plan in consultation with all internal stakeholders and College Council. This plan reflects firstly
our level of dedication and re –commitment to our institutional vision and motto for excellence: Committed
to Excellence! Secondly, the plan reflects our alignment and hard work at attaining the national priorities
for skills development. High in the list is of priorities are Programmes, Infrastructure, MIS to support
excellent delivery, Student Support Services to inspire our students, Partnerships with the private sector,
SETAs and HE institutions for a guaranteed future of our clients and importantly our machinery – Human
Resource.
The plans include a high marketing and partnership formation drive to ensure enrolments as per our set
targets in the Funding Formula plan and increase opportunities for workplace placement. The
performance of our students through the programmes is key to our drive for ‘excellence’. Our strategy for
the achieving accelerated student performance includes extensive support of our students through
additional academic support programmes including access to extra tutorials for all NCV programmes.
Also reflected is the development of the capacity of our Management Information System for various
management areas of the College such as our processes for collation and verification of data needed to
calculate our outputs in alignment with the TVET Evaluation and Monitoring Framework reporting
requirements. The generation of valid data across all our campuses is a valued beginning of our renewal
drive. Practical strategies are planned for a uniform procedure for recording of class attendance rates,
retention rate and certificate pass. These plans are supported by our implementation connected and
integrative MIS. The strength of the College is the access to manufacturing based industries. This enables
the College to increase the partnership base.

Strategic Objective 1
To provide quality technical and vocational education and training services and increase academic
achievement and success of students.
The College plans to expand on this strategic goal through increasing the numbers of students enrolled
across the programme mix. NCV and Report 191 programmes remain our major provision. Through this
reviewing and planning process we have identified a number of strategies targeting increasing access and
performance into our programmes. These include among others: feasibility for the implementation of a
bridging programme across all level 2 programmes and additional academic support provided through
extra tutorials and extra teaching outside official business time.
The College plan to introduce a mix of tools to assist us understand the potential of enrolling students.
These will be supplementing the existing national placement tool currently implemented by the College.
The College will also open relevant venues after hours for students to be able to study and work after
hours and on Saturdays. Strategies must be implemented to bring industry and commerce closer to the
college, guest lecturing and placement of students will be a priority in the following years. The re-skilling
and capacitating of lecturing staff will also be prioritised to assist in increasing the throughput and
certification of students. The College will attempt to improve on the low attendance rate with the assistance
of the punctuality and attendance policy of DHET. The transport assistance from the DHET Bursary fund
needs to be indorsed earlier to ensure that students will have money to attend their classes. The ETDP
Seta is supporting the College with the placement of lecturers in industry. This support will be expanded
over the next few years. EOH will also assist with the work placement of lecturing staff in future – a MOU
was signed with them.
The college established a new campus to address the Strategic Goal 1 and 6 – to expand access and
introduced apprenticeships. The capacity of this site is +/- 1800 students. The facility was designed for
construction related training and the College will establish a centre of specialisation in Civil Construction.
Ekurhuleni East TVET College STRATEGIC PLAN 2017
31 | P a g e
Strategic Objective 2
To have adequate infrastructure and systems in place to increase access and provide effective
services to students.
The College has identified lack of human resource capacity in few portfolios that have through this plan
been prioritized. These portfolios include human resource, finance and quality management. We have
shifted emphasis in the nature of training given to educators from provision of generic pedagogy to subject
specific considerations. Furthermore, the plan reflects an increase in the frequency of placement of
educator staff to work places for development. This shift supports the College Academic performance
strategy that is built on simultaneous multiple interventions targeting the various aspects of quality
teaching. The College has broaden this objective to include in addition to human resource capacity other
support functions needed to ensure facilitation of learning such as student support, infrastructure and
quality management. Our student support is to be strengthened in terms of support related to students’
social needs. Our facilities are in plan for refurbishment that supports learning and safety in terms of the
safety and health quality management standard.
The College will endeavour to improve on the recruitment of suitable qualified staff in terms of lecturing
and support functions. Alternative means will be used in the advertising of the vacant positions. Existing
staff will be trained, re-skilled and offered an opportunity to better their qualifications through a staff bursary
fund.
Strategic Objective 3
To develop partnerships and maintain good stakeholder relations to increase the number of
students who are adequately prepared to enter the labour market or further and higher learning
opportunities.
The plan reflects an increased drive to increase the network of business partners. The College has
identified both the quantity of partnerships formed and the implementation of an employability programme
as key to the success of this goal. The employability programme will ensure that by the time that learners
complete the programme they have acquired the core skills required in a workplace, that they
understand the nature of workplaces in their selected vocation/occupation and that they receive work
readiness training and placement support.
The college has endorsed a vigorous placement strategy and dedicated staff from all campuses assists to
negotiate with industry and commerce to place students. A tracking program was developed for the College
Ekurhuleni East TVET College STRATEGIC PLAN 2017
32 | P a g e
to support the data of placed students. Partnerships with local businesses are established and maintained
to open opportunities to our students for placement and employment.
The college will also prioritise the formation of small businesses for students showing interest and business
knowhow. Entrepreneurial skills and business support will be implemented in three identified areas:
Laundry Services, Car Wash and Furniture Making businesses.
Strategic Objective 4
To ensure continuous business excellence in terms of good corporate governance and effectual
management of all college resources as well as information and data reporting.
A minimum of four College Council meetings will be conducted and effectively organised in accordance
with the requirements of Schedule 1 of the CET Act (16 of 2006). Council will also be capacitated so that
active participation can take place in Council meetings and committees.
Strategic Objective 5
To monitor and evaluate all college processes in terms of the TVET College Monitoring and
Evaluation Framework and report quarterly on college performance in this regard.
The College performance will be monitored through a review of progress report submitted on an approved
operational plan by managers and through departmental progress reviews where necessary. Intervention
plans will be formulated, implemented and progress monitored through status reports. For poor
performance in specific areas, corrective activities would be clearly defined and implemented with monthly
progress reporting and measurable feedback.
Strategic Objective 6
To promote access to occupationally-directed programmes through expanding the availability of
intermediate level skills with a special focus on artisan skills development.
The College has identified occupational programmes across a range of related occupational areas and
across more than one level on the NQF as a vehicle for quick responsiveness. The selection of these
programmes will be informed by the needs identified for varied target groupings (pre-employed,
Ekurhuleni East TVET College STRATEGIC PLAN 2017
33 | P a g e
unemployed and employed). This approach is to be supported by more structured partnerships with
relevant SETAs. This will enable learners to progress from one occupational level to the next. A plan is
also made to explore formation of programmatic partnerships with relevant universities of technology and
other universities.
The PQM of the College includes Learnerships, apprenticeships, skills programmes and non-formal
programmes to address the needs expressed by local government, industry and Seta’s. The College has
accredited workshops to support the drive of becoming a preferred training and skills provider for public
as well private institutions. The College also have strong partnerships with Merseta (Lead-Seta), Services
Seta, CETA, FP+M Seta, MICT Seta, W& R Seta, E+W Seta and the ETDP Seta.
Strategic Objective 7
To enhance the College and community socio-economic development through establishing
effective broad based Corporate Social Investment projects, while promoting access, sustainable
use and benefit sharing of resources.
EEC TVET College’s CSI Community Projects primary objective is to enable the community
around Ekurhuleni East Rand community to provide for their own needs, while aspiring to better
themselves and contribute to their family hood. In this way it is the College’s objective as a
Corporate Citizen to make a measurable contribution to sustainable career and skills
development through the enhancement and development of skills by providing educational
programmes that encourage entrepreneurship, self-reliance, and provide employment
opportunities to all these needy stakeholder communities.
EEC TVET College believe that sustainable educational and skills development of youths can
relieve them from the conditions of poverty and unemployment through economic empowerment
and uplifting the quality of life of marginalised and disadvantaged members of their community.
5.2 Expected Targets for Sub-Outcomes
The following systemic targets, relating to sub-outcomes 2 and 4 of Outcome 5 of the 2014-2019 MTSF,

5.3 Resource Considerations
As the College grows exponentially, it will need to increase its administrative capacity, physical
infrastructure and information communication technology. The College will introduce a double or second
shift in order to accommodate the growth in student numbers. Physical infrastructure to accommodate the
Artisan and Skills programmes in Civil and Construction has been acquired and need to be equipped. A
new media centre will be constructed at the Kwa-Thema Campus to assist students in a study facility that
can be used during the day and after hours.
The College is expanding access in the delivery of occupational programmes and some workshops will be
registered as trade test centres. The extension in occupational programmes will also bring in additional
funding for the College.
Ekurhuleni East TVET College STRATEGIC PLAN 2017
36 | P a g e
The College will upheld the quality in conducting examinations and assessments and aim at a 100%
compliance with DHET processes and guidelines. The College will capacitate the College Council,
Management and Staff through an extensive training and development plan. Vacancies in the College
organisational structure will be filled in an effort to improve on performance.
