Community Stakeholder Recognition and Appreciation Awards
As part of its TVET month activities False Bay TVET College decided to award 12 community organisations with a Certificate of Appreciation. The awards were in recognition of the long standing partnership the college has with these stakeholders and their sterling role in promoting technical and vocational education and training as a pathway to the upliftment and self- development of the youth. The best thing about honouring our stakeholders with awards is that it is aligned with the overall marketing communication strategy. We also made sure that we create appreciation posts for social media which forms part of PR and creates awareness of the fact that we value our stakeholders. This was a simple way of saying to our stakeholders "We know you, we value you and we realise the impact you have in our business". 8 Feb 2022 Read more

Engineering gender equity
The United Nation Commission on the status of women made an astounding claim in 2014 that sub-Saharan Africa needed 2,5 million engineers and technicians just to improve access to clean water and sanitiation.
