South West Gauteng TVET College (SWGC) continues to lead the way in empowering South African youth by bridging the gap between education and employability. In partnership with the Finance and Accounting Services Sector Education and Training Authority (FASSET) and the National Skills Fund (NSF), the college is calling on all eligible young people to apply for placement opportunities linked to the National Certificate Vocational (NCV) and NATED programmes.
