FOREWORD AND MESSAGE BY THE COUNCIL CHAIRPERSON
This strategic plan for Sedibeng TVET College is submitted for approval by the Minister of the
Department of Higher Education and Training as required by legislation. It takes into account
that technical and vocational education and Training(TVET) colleges, as part of a dynamic post-

the strategically in terms of the strategic vision and mission of the Department.
Sedibeng TVET College is well situated in the Vaal with its four campuses and is able to provide
a good mix of programmes to over 1500 students in line with requirements of outcome 5 of the
national strategic targets. The College is well equipped to be able to provide high quality educa-
tion and the College boasts a high calibre of qualified and well trained educators force. As such
the College is well suited to be able to deliver effectively in the following areas:
• Toprovidetechnicalandvocationaleducationandtrainingservicesbyincreasing quality and success in terms of the academic achievement of students
• Toprovidetechnicalandvocationaleducationandtrainingcapacitybyadequate infrastructure and systems in place to increase access and provide effective

funding and infrastructure and/or facilities) as well as information and data reporting
As Council of Sedibeng TVET College we are aware of our governance responsibilities as indi-
cated in the Further Education and Training Act, Act No 16 of 2016. Primary to our task to govern
the College is the study of development, coordination of strategic plans and overseeing manage-
ment implementation of College strategy through operational plans. We therefore believe that
through commitment to good governance the funding received by the college is largely used to
implement college plans.

Council`s key challenge is to ensure that the college has the strategic capacity to ensure the ef-
fective and successful teaching and learning with the intention to create a reliable and employable
pool of skilled youth and artisans for the Sedibeng area and beyond.
Council commits itself with the support of its management staff to the leadership of creating
amongst others, key educational, student support, human resources, governance, operational,
financial policies and organisational structure that is effective and meeting the college core busi-
ness demands and the college`s capacity to deliver its mandate of Further Education and
Training.
The College Council commits to structural and infrastructural, programme and learner output
readiness through successful employment of funds allocated for such purposes.
One of the College Council`s key challenges for the 2016 financial year will be to ensure the in-
creased intake and certification rate for all our students in all categories. In particular we acknowl-
edge that the success of NC(V), learning is a national and provincial challenge, as such College
Council also commits and looks forward to working with the Department of Higher Education and
Training to create critical skills for the alleviation of poverty and contribution to development in
our region and country in general.

7.3 Resource Considerations
In order to achieve the objectives mentioned above it is very important that the College be equipped
with the necessary resources that will ensure a seamless provision and attainment of goals.
Curriculum delivery and provision of student support services;
The college will continue offering the ministerial approved programmes in NC (V) and Report
191. The college will engage industry to ensure that our PQM is aligned with local industry needs.
Skills and artisan training will continue taking place in fully accredited workshops to address the
shortage of artisans in South Africa.
Students will continue to receive support to achieve their goals. The college will test student to
determine the support needed to improve academic performance. Students will be exposed to
industry and commerce through WBE. Student bursaries will be distributed to needy and aca-
demically deserving students.
The college will continue partnering with NGO’s and government departments to ensure that the
wellbeing of students are taken care of.
18
Finances and funding;
The college will receive funding from the Department’s program funding. Funding received from
SETA’s, sponsorship, commerce and industry was strategically used for college staff and students
development.
Conducting examinations and assessment;
Assessments are common throughout all four campuses. Regular subjects meetings are con-
ducted at campuses let by subject’s heads. Examinations are conducted in line with DHET exami-
nation regulations and guidelines to maintain desired standards. Training takes place before each
national examination to ensure that procedures and process are understood and adhered to.
Governance, management and leadership of the college;
The college council, is fully constituted and governance related matters are well addressed.
Council committees meet on regular basis to take decisions that are recommended to council.
The Academic board of the college is also in place were majority of members are lecturers in ac-
cordance with the Act. SRC is established and is represented in all council committees including
the Academic board. The college is under the management and leadership of the executive.

ENVIRONMENT
College Situational Analysis
11.1 Performance Environment
Sectorial analysis
The socio-economic profile of the Sedibeng District, presents a mix of urban and rural economic
activities, with rural dominating large land uses. Urban development in the last decade has been
intense in the western part of the District around Vanderbijlpark and Vereeniging. The most con-
centrated agricultural activities appear to be in the western half of Emfuleni Local Municipality and
the eastern part of the Lesedi Local Municipality (which encompasses the areas of Heidelberg
and Ratanda).
According to the District’s density distribution, the majority of the District’s population lives in Em-
fuleni - the prime location of the College campuses - whilst the lowest density may be found in the
southern half of the Midvaal Local Municipality. Within the Emfuleni Local Municipality the highest
densities are in the western half, in the vicinity of Vanderbijlpark and Acerlor Mittal Steel SA.
The regional economy of Sedibeng has always been driven by manufacturing sector for which
over years it has assumed that the status quo has remained to the biggest employer in the region
until a change in the structure of the regional economy and global exposure of the manufacturing
sector especially still to international competitiveness. It is envisaged that the manufacturing sec-
tor will remain the dominant economic sector in the district for the foreseeable future.
Trade, Finance, Transport and Travel & Tourism sectors appear to have potential for development
in the future.
The agriculture, trade and construction have remained relatively stable. However in terms of
manufacturing as whole, the remaining sub-sectors provide potential opportunities to be focused
on and to drive future economic development (SDM, 2003).
These are:
• Furnitureandrecycling• Non-metallicmineralproducts• Electricalequipmentandappliances• Foodandbeverageproducts• Fuel,petroleumandchemicals• Textiles,clothingandleathergoods• Brick-makingandConstruction
Recent research has shown that people also desire to be involved in welding and metal-work as
well as retail activities.

Organisational analysis
While our implementation plans focus on our goal for establishing niche areas, they also talk to
the strategic objectives contained in the College Strategic Plan. These objectives have been
formulated in alignment with the national vision for the TVET colleges sector, as spelled out in
the relevant TVET legislative guidelines. Subsequently, we have synchronised activities for es-
tablishing niche areas based on programme funding norms and those for systematic institutional
development, as outlined in our current Strategic Plan, into a cohesive implementation plan for
2012/2015 and beyond. We then re-organised the implementation plans around key areas of
management and operational functions. These include, among others, administrative systems,
finance, supply chain management (SCM), governance, student support, programmes and qual-
ity control. This approach allows us to home and monitor activities related to development in the
appropriate college units/divisions.
As a College in transformation, we have adopted an approach guided by the following widely used
principles: creation of urgency, importance of a strong leading management team, importance of
a clear vision and the consistent communication thereof, empowerment of working teams, cele-
bration of short term wins, and consolidation of working solutions into the culture of the institution.
High on the priority list is the delivery of the NC(V) and Report 191 programmes as well as the
design, development and delivery of intermediate to high skills that lead to employability and/
or entrepreneurial ventures by our graduates. This priority should be supported by a number of
activities including the ongoing revamp and expansion of our infrastructure, significant increase
in staffing and specialised human resources, and the strengthening of our internal governance
and management structures and systems. This ideal is, however, attainable only if the institution
avails a reliable and sustainable source of financial and material assistance.

OBJECTIVES
• Communitiesservedbythecollegeanditscontributionwithinthesecommunitiesthe operational year.
The College embarked on a number of projects to give back to the community and to
ensure that Sedibeng TVET College is accessible to the communities in which it operates
in. To ensure that this aspect takes place, the College has taken part in a number of indus
try related activities, namely:
JOINING OF CAREER EXHIBITION AND INFORMATION ASSOCIATION
Sedibeng TVET College joined CEIA, the organisation organises exhibitions across the country
and around the neighbouring countries. Each member institution has the freedom to select which
exhibition they want to participate in, if it is in line with their strategy or their catchment areas.
Joining this organisation enabled the college to reach markets that are otherwise not accessible
because of their geographical location, thus giving much needed information to learners in high
schools, even outside our catchment areas.
OPEN WEEK
The college embarked on a project to host learners from District 7 and District 8 high schools dur-
ing July 2015, with the intention of acquainting them with our workshops and our state of the art
Hospitality kitchens. There were a number of secondary schools that were invited and each day
we accommodated 60 learners who were able to communicate with our experts (lecturers) and
ask them questions regarding their disciplines. We managed to accommodate 480 learners for
a week. This project proved to be fruitful as it revived our relationship with both our districts and
secondary schools which are currently feeding us with students.
EXHIBITIONS
