iCollege institute releases 144 graduates on March 28, after completing courses in different fields at Legislature hall, in Johannesburg.
iCollege Regional Campus Executive, Sphisihle Nala said they hold graduations to honour learners who have finished their course and to send a message of encouragement to hopeful graduates.
“The college is credited to offer 10 qualifications or courses nationally but we only offer eight because we want to deliver quality, with right lecturers and popularity of the course. Today a graduate had to come with two quests and are offered their certificate same day. The college offers NQ4 certificates”, he said.
Meanwhile the Chief Operating Officer Karin Coode said they offer qualifications that are nationally and internationally recognised. She added that students are competent in the qualifications they studied for.
“Qualification and skills are links to the work place. We offer skills development and we consider education a privilege as we offer quality education. True professionals articulate themselves in skills development and problem analysing and solving”, she said.
Coode added that they work with SETAs which come and verify that the students should proceed with graduation.
“We encourage students to update us with their contacts as we get calls from companies in need of graduates from different courses they have studied”, She said.
National Media liaison officer of the college, Neo Kuaho said they recognize graduates who performed outstandingly by giving those positions of lecturers assistants.
“We want them to acquire experience. We encourage them to study further to the level of degree, as iCollege employs lecturers with degree certificates. Some of them left because they got better job”, said Nala.
One of the college graduates Nombuso Sibiya said she was pursuing Human Resources while a known lawyer from a law firm contacted her to work with them.
“Today as I am holding my certificate, I feel honoured and get the experience of being a graduate. It all happened because of iCollege, the future looks bright because through education we can reach better heights”, said Sibiya.
