This page contains a list of Gauteng TVET Colleges that will begin accepting students in 2024.

• Technical and vocational education and training courses are inherently occupational or vocational in nature. As a result, the student is instructed and trained to pursue a particular set of careers, employment opportunities, or business opportunities. A TVET qualification can help you find work in South Africa by providing you with the necessary practical and occupational skills. You can use your entrepreneurial skills to launch new ventures. South Africa lacks the necessary engineering, manufacturing, construction, agricultural, and other skills to build a thriving economy. TVETs are the bedrock of a new skills revolution.
