Boland College recently welcomed the TVET College Governance Council (TVETCGC) for an oversight visit, reaffirming the College’s shared commitment to accountability, quality assurance, and continuous improvement within the TVET sector.
The visit provided an important platform for engagement between College Management and the Council, focusing on governance practices, institutional performance, and key strategic priorities shaping the future of the College.
A key area of discussion included the sector-wide transition towards Occupational Programmes, which Boland College will be introducing from Semester 2. These programmes are designed to strengthen industry alignment, enhance workplace readiness, and equip students with practical, job-ready skills that respond directly to labour market demands.
Through open dialogue and collaborative reflection, the engagement highlighted the College’s proactive approach to embracing change, ensuring readiness for implementation, and maintaining high standards in teaching, learning, and student support.
Speaking on the visit, Mr Charles Goodwin, Principal of Boland College, said: “As we move towards the introduction of Occupational Programmes, engagements such as these play a critical role in ensuring that we are aligned, prepared, and responsive to the evolving needs of our sector. We remain committed to delivering quality, industry-relevant education that empowers our students for success.”
Boland College continues to strengthen partnerships and governance practices that support innovation, relevance, and excellence in education.
