This year’s event will be TARDI’s 7th graduation ceremony since the re-opening of the institution by the Eastern Cape provincial government in 2015. During the graduation ceremony, MEC Pieters will also announce academic performance of TARDI students.
The graduation ceremony will be preceded by the opening of a newly built Multi-purpose Hall built by the DRDAR as part of ongoing infrastructure upgrades at the institution. The 300-seater multi- purpose hall will serve as a venue for academic, social, cultural activities and as the resource centre for TARDI students.
