Our Story CS Barlow is in Motetema village, about 3km north ofthe town of Groblersdal, surrounded by farms. It was a former technical college offering mainly N 1 to N6 theoretical and skills training programmes as well as N3 to N6 Business Studies. CN Phatudi, formerly a College of Education, trained teachers, and is located in Praktiseer village, 17km north of Burgersfort, a town known as the Platinum City because it is surrounded by platinum mines. The location of Sekhukhune College, in the southeastern part of Limpopo, allows it to provide education and training to a vast rural area in the Greater Sekhukhune District Municipality. This district incorporates five local municipalities: Ellias Motswaledi, Greater Marble Hall, Greater Tubatse, Makhuduthamaga and Fetakgomo. The college, given its location, faces an important task. Limpopo, a province rich in natural resources, has an 89% rural population and a very high percentage of illiteracy and unemployed youth. In an attempt to tackle these challenges, the college will be offering several of the National Department of Education's new National Certificate (Vocational) programmes at NQF Levels 2, 3 and 4. These have been particularly designed to counter unemployment and South Africa's skills deficit. The college also provides skills development in the promotion of small- and medium enterprise development and entrepreneurship training and capacity-building, business support and mentoring, Student Support Services and other SETA-approved skills programmes for social and economic development which include Building Construction, Welding, Motor Mechanics, Cabinetmaking and Electrical Engineering. |
