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). Ekurhuleni West College is situated in Gauteng Province in South Africa. EWC operates within a broad band and diverse communities and comprises of the following six (6) campuses: Alberton, Boksburg, Germiston, Kathorus, (in Katlehong/ Vosloorus/ Thokoza), Kempton (in Kempton Park) and Tembisa. The name "Ekurhuleni" is originated from the geographical and municipal areas [the Southern Service Delivery Regions] (SDR) namely: Germiston (as regional centre), Alberton, areas of Boksburg, Katlehong, Thokoza, Vosloorus and sections of Freeway Park; and the [Northern Service Delivery Region] (NDR) namely Kempton Park (as regional centre) Tembisa, Edenvale, including Bedfordview and Primrose in which the College is situated. "Ekurhuleni" - means place of peace in Xitsonga. "Ekurhuleni" was taken from the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality and "West" from the Western Belt within the Municipal area, where all the campuses are situated. Principal's Speech - Artisans Development Launch
04 February 2013. It is a great honour for me to welcome you to our institution. We are enthused by your presence here today, and indeed hope that Ekurhuleni West College will give you all a reason to return, on another occasion, to this beautiful Tembisa campus. Please do feel welcome and thank you for choosing this campus in partiular to launch "The Year of the Artisan" for many reasons, and among others - Tembisa as a township has grown so fast that this campus can't deal with the numbers that enter their gates during enrollment time. Tembisa campus has been producing the best results at EWC for three consecutive years, especially their Engineering Department - Civil and Construction. We have here among our midst the best Level 4 student at EWC who is a Civil student. Minister, whilst significant progress has been made towards making South Africa a more just, inclusive and developmental society, deep inequalities associated with extraordinarily high levels of poverty and joblessness still persist - as you get into Tembisa that is very evident. True, we have achieved moderate growth in the formal economy and attracted some foreign investment; we have, however, failed to skill the nation for these new challenges to the structure of our economy. This situation is worsened by the global economic downturn which has seen many people losing their jobs and therefore unable to provide for the basic needs of their families. This has not left South Africa unscathed... EWC Diploma Ceremony 201218 May 2012 The Diploma Ceremony took place on 18 May 2012 in the Transnet Hall at Esselen Park.

EWC And Transnet To Sign MoU09 May 2012 EWC and the Transnet School of Engineering are to sign a cooperation agreement. The signing of an MoU with Transnet is in response to the call from government to produce artisans in the country. The MoU will present both institutions with an opportunity to collaborate in the production of the artisans, a crucial priority for South Africa. South Africa's pool of intermediate skills, especially artisanal skills, is too low to support National and Sector Development and Growth, leading to these skills being imported from other countries for the implementation of some developmental projects. The Transnet / Ekurhuleni West College cooperation will be an instrument to help alleviate the challenges the country has, as well as achieving the National Skills Development Strategy III (NSDS III)’s objectives such as:
This cooperation will not only assist EWC in achieving its objectives and to deliver its mandate, as prescribed by the DHET, but also assist Ekurhuleni West College to become an FET institution of choice as well as assisting government in alleviating unemployment due to scarcity of skills in our country. Ekurhuleni West College welcomes and appreciates a donation of fifteen welding machines from Transnet. This donation symbolises commitment from Transnet to the cooperation and will assist EWC in achieving the objective of becoming a college that thrives in excellence. Our students will be afforded the opportunity to be trained in the welding trade, using the latest technology. Media is invited to come and witness the signing of the MoU and the handing over of welding machines that will take place as follows:
