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).

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

College has established a centre of excellence in air-conditioning, refrigeration, and ventilation in

partnership with SAMSUNG and Merseta. In addition trade test centres have been established for:

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.

4. STRATEGIC OUTCOME ORIENTATED GOALS

The 2019 Medium Term Strategic Framework is structured around 14 priority outcomes which cover the

focus areas identified in the National Development Plan. The Department of Higher Education and

Training is responsible for Outcome 5 of the 14 government outcomes, namely “A skilled and capable

workforce to support an inclusive growth path”.

The following Medium Term Strategic Framework (MTSF) sub-outcomes have been identified for this

Outcome:

1. Credible institutional mechanism for labour market and skills planning;

2. Increased access and success in programmes leading to intermediate and high level learning;

3. Increased access to and efficiency of high-level occupationally directed programmes in needed

areas; and

25 | P a g e

4. Increased access to occupationally directed programmes in needed areas and thereby expand the

availability of intermediate level skills with a special focus on artisan skills.

For the realisation of the aforementioned sub outcomes, five (5) strategic outcome oriented goals have

been identified and Goals 2 to 4 closely relate to delivery and achievement by the TVET colleges.

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.

Page 32: Ekurhuleni East TVET College STRATEGIC PLAN 2017 - EEC TVET College Strategic Plan 2017.pdf · 4 31 October 2016 Final amended draft submitted to DHET . Ekurhuleni East TVET College

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

Page 33: Ekurhuleni East TVET College STRATEGIC PLAN 2017 - EEC TVET College Strategic Plan 2017.pdf · 4 31 October 2016 Final amended draft submitted to DHET . Ekurhuleni East TVET College

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,

Page 34: Ekurhuleni East TVET College STRATEGIC PLAN 2017 - EEC TVET College Strategic Plan 2017.pdf · 4 31 October 2016 Final amended draft submitted to DHET . Ekurhuleni East TVET College

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.

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.
