Through our strong partnerships with industry leaders, employers, professional bodies, and local and international stakeholders, we ensure that every programme we offer remains relevant, credible, and future-focused. One of our greatest achievements is the success of our graduates. Over the years, a significant percentage of our graduates have secured employment in their respective fields of study. This success reflects our commitment to developing graduates who possess not only technical competence but also the practical skills, professional values, and confidence required to excel in the workplace.

ITCA Bushbuckridge Campus, Vision Point, and STANLIB Partnership

Empowering Students with Financial Management and Entrepreneurship Skills

On Saturday, July 18, 2026, the ITCA Bushbuckridge campus, in partnership with STANLIB and Vision Point, hosted a transformative workshop designed to equip students with essential financial management and entrepreneurship skills. Participants gained valuable insights into effective budgeting strategies and the critical importance of saving at least 40% of their monthly income to build financial security. The session underscored the necessity of selecting reputable banks such as ABSA, Standard Bank, Nedbank, or FNB, along with maintaining a strong credit score, which are pivotal for enhancing future career prospects and overall financial health. This event exemplifies the commitment of the three partners to empower students and strengthen local communities.
