Enq:
= This position advertised in the Sowetan, Tuesday 04 October 2011. May be we are lost please clarify us. Is the FET College offer Degree, if not why do you advertised with university requirements? Please explain
= Minister Dr Blade Nzimande always talk about empowering FET student, do you also do that? If yes how
= FET is offering N Course and NCV in various field of studies including Administration and Finance, where is this student going to get job with N or NCV Certificate when you FET college don’t show companies that you produce quality by employing them in your institution.
= Did Universities advertised position with FET qualifications or you already have people to fill the positions? If yes why bother to advertised and waste people time and last cent of unemployed?
= Each and every year FET colleges is doing career guide in high school to recruit students to register so where they going to work when they complete the course because you FET college don’t believe in your product. Can you use the product that the owner is not using it?
= I assume that you complete your degree in university that means you are in wrong place, let people who understand and completed their N course take over your position because they understand environment and they know what FET college is.
= Therefore suggest that position should be advertised according to institution products. e.g. If it is FET requirement should be N certificate to Diploma as we all know that college produce those kind of qualifications.
Please put right people in the right position you won’t find this embarrassing mess
Thanks
