It will be the first learnership graduation of its kind for College Campus
when its 262 Information Technology (IT) students receive their certificates at
Wits Universityâs main campus on Monday.
The occasion will be made even more remarkable by the presence of Labour
Minister Membathisi Mdladlana, who will give a keynote address and hand over
merit awards to outstanding learners.
The students, who are from various stakeholders, including the Gauteng
government and several private sector companies were originally 300 when Campus
College first enrolled them in 2004.
The Information Systems, Electronics and Telecommunication Technologies
Sector Education Training Authority (ISETT SETA), under whose auspices the
training takes place, appointed an Employment Skills Development Lead Employer
Agency (ESDLA) to project manage the learnership implementation process with
College Campus on behalf of the ISETT SETA as well as to play the role of lead
employer agency.
Those that will be graduating on Monday consist of 126 National
Qualifications Framework (NQF) Level 4 and 136 NQF Level 5 students of whom
women make up the majority at 158.
