On behalf of the College executive and the College Council, I would like to welcome all our esteemed stakeholders to the year of prosperity, hope and achievements, a year where we are all prepared to up the bar from yesteryear’s achievements. This is the year where, as the College, we want to move vigorously towards the use of technology and digital platforms for both teaching and learning, this move will also be evident in our day-to-day operations during 2024.

To the lecturing staff, we have this great belief in you that you will continue with this trajectory of excellence and achieve even better than what you achieved in the 2023 academic year.

Our support staff and the general workers are tuned to support the core business of the College by ensuring that the necessary support is granted to both students and lecturing staff.

We also want to welcome our external stakeholders, businesses, industry leaders, social organisations and partners. I would like to invite you to the College and encourage you to invest in the College and support our young people as they try to find a fit in the corporate space. We invite you to create placement opportunities for our students and later permanent employment. We invite you to make Ekurhuleni East TVET College an item in your meeting agendas for the year 2024.

Eastians, our beloved students, our clients, my most valuable stakeholder our future ambassadress, I also wish to welcome you to the year of endless possibilities the year where the word failure will no longer define us, a year where we are synonymous with success and hard work.

New or returning, our goal is to prepare you to lead and excel in a diverse world, and we have created a learning-and-living environment in which you can have a transformative student experience, but it’s up to you to make the most of your opportunities.

You have to work hard right from Day 1. And if the going starts to get tough, don’t hesitate to reach out. We offer comprehensive student support and will do our utmost to help.

Make your studies your priority, but consider joining the sports teams as well and volunteer for social impact, because we want you to become a well-rounded individual who makes a difference.

Please help us to save water and electricity this year, and let’s all recycle. We owe it to our planet.

I hope you have a great year.
