We conduct quarterly employability assessments on graduates and based on the outcomes of the assessments, graduates are supported with measures necessary for the preparation of employment  and other work opportunities, including SMME support.

We  also, conduct workshops, seminars, events and programs where we invite experts from private sector, the media,educational institutions and analysts to discuss issues contributing to unemployment, underemployment and drop out or failure rate.
