CHALLENGES Institutional capacity. Interviews for portfolio managers and campus managers are being concluded. training of newly appointed personnel Procurement. The staff will need training on procurement procedures since this is the first time for them to procure for building and upgrading of systems, etc. Approval of plans is a lengthy process while tenders for building cannot be advertised before the approval of plans

CHALLENGES CONT… Project management fees. Recapitalization project does not cater for the appointment of staff, e.g. project managers, which makes it difficult for the colleges to manage such a big project. The alignment of programmes in the FET Colleges such that all the demands of the Province are met fairly.

CONNECTIVITY PROJECT This project has been funded through recapitalization funds. It has a budget of R65 m Commenced in February 2006. Will facilitate consultation and communication between colleges and head office as well as between colleges themselves.

CONNECTIVITY PROJECT The purpose of connectivity project it to enable FET Colleges to manage their administrative responsibilities and most importantly support the roll out of the FET College Curriculum. Phase 1 of this connectivity was launched in May 2006. This project will be completed by 30 November 2006.
