The college has well-established partnerships across various fields of study, which are creating opportunities to students to learn hands-on. Mining:The Palaborwa Mining Company and the college agreed early last year (2006) to have Engineering students visit the mine training facilities on site to be lectured on the trade as well as to get an orientation of the mining industry.
The chemical and fertilizer mineral mining company Foskor, with operations in Phalaborwa in Limpopo and Richards Bay in KwaZulu-Natal, has made available a house for the running of the college's Mosate Hotel School. Umsobomvu Youth Fund: The fund has provided the money for a learnership, the National Certificate: Professional Cookery (NQF Level 4) to at least 20 unemployed and disadvantaged youth in the community.
In addition, the fund also supported the establishment of a Youth Advisory Centre at the SirVal Duncan campus in Namakgale.
The centre provides information on bursaries and entrepreneurial and skills and also acts as a referral service for HIV/Aids, rape, abuse and related problems. In addition, it teaches basic computer skills and has established outreach programmes to the community. SETAs: The college obtained funding from the Wholesale and Retail SETA to offer a learnership, the National Certificate: Wholesale and Retail Sales Practice (NQF Level 3) and National Certificate: Government Departments: The Provincial Department of Public Works is funding a learnership for SO employees to teach them the technical skills of Boilermaking. Hospitality: The college has an agreement with the Impala Hotel to allow food services students, in particular in the field of professional cookery, workplace exposure.
Students often secure employment with lodges, hotels and game farms in the area before even completing their studies.
The lodges, hotels and game farms also provide workplace exposure and internships to Mopani students.
Students who are participating in programmes at the Mosate Hotel School have been the primary beneficiaries. Municipality: The college has partnered with the local municipality to provide skills training to staff. Administrative and technical staff members, including fitters and turners, builders, electricians, have been participating in computer skills training.
