HomeEkurhuleni West College (EWC) for Further Education and Training (FET) is a public institution regulated by the FET Colleges Act no 16 of 2006. It was established in terms of the Further Education and Training Act, Act No. 98 of 1998, declared as such by the Member of the Executive Council (MEC) for Education (Gauteng Province) in terms of a Provincial Gazette Extraordinary (dated 7 December 2001).

A message from the Principal of EWC at the beginning of 2012. I want to believe that you have all returned with even more energy and vigour to tackle whatever challenges the year 2012 presents to us as a dedicated EWC community. I hope that after spending some time with your loved ones during December holidays you were able to reflect on the past year and came up with clear and SMART goals for 2012. 2011 came and went and with it, some remarkable achievements that through your hard work had gained us much needed recognition within the FET sector in particular and South Africa in general. Hats off to all of you! A new way of thinking The work of the college remains critical in government's overall aims to improve and strengthen the country's skills base, thus impacting directly on the socio-economic development of a country and her people. The EWC sits firmly in a privileged position that allows it to contribute significantly to this cause thus assisting our government to deal effectively with the twin-problems of poverty and unemployment; creating better living conditions for all in South Africa. Furthermore we occupy a space that through legislation is constantly challenging us to adapt to new policy directives; directives that aim to strengthen and re-align FET colleges and other institutions in the post-school education and training landscape, creating closer alignment between FET colleges and employers, both in the public and private sector and the Sector Education and Training Authorities (SETAs).

Joyous Celebration - EWC Executive Management and Tembisa Campus Level 4 Motor students. Signing CeremonyCooperation Agreement Between South African Airways Technical (SAAT) And Ekurhukeni West College (EWC) 30 June 2011 The Principal and CEO of Ekurhuleni West College, Me Manakedi Hellen Ntlatleng, and the CEO of SAAT, Mr Musa Zwane, signed a Cooperation Agreement between Ekurhuleni West College (EWC) and South African Airways Technical (SAAT). The signing ceremony was held on Thursday 30 June 2011, between 07h00 and 08h30, at the SAAT Training Centre. The significance of the cooperation, other than forming a partnership, is how the two entities interpreted the imperatives of the National Skills Development Strategy III and the New Growth Path of our country. This partnership between SAAT and EWC represents a firm commitment to encourage the links of skills development to career pathing, career development and promoting sustainable employment and job placements. Through this partnership, parties commit to, amongst others:
The signing was witnessed by esteemed leaders of our society, amongst others, the Honourable Minister of Higher Education and Training, Dr Blade Nzimande; the Honourable Minister of Public Enterprises, Mr Malusi Gigaba; Honourable Deputy Minister of Public Enterprises, Mr Ben Dikobe Martins; SAA Chairperson, Ms Cheryl Carolus; EWC College Council Chairperson, Mr Thembani Bukula; SAAT Chairperson, Mr Teddy Daka; the Acting Director General Department of Higher Education and Training, Mr Gwebinkundla Qonde. An initiative of this magnitude is rendered miniscule by the absence of high level support. The presence of two Ministers concerned bears testimony to this government's commitment to upskilling South Africa's workforce and the creation of job opportunities for many. We are particularly enthused by the commitment made by both Ministers to support this initiative and hope that this initiative will herald the birth of many such in all sectors of our economy. Ekurhuleni West College is elated by the fact that more and more young South Africans can be aided to participate fully and productively in a thriving economy, by gaining the skills and experience necessary to smooth the path between the classroom and the world of work. As we celebrate this partnership, we also celebrate with the many South African families who by virtue of this partnership will be able to bear testimony to the benefits of the partnership and its direct impact on the livelihoods of many families within SA's communities.
