The purpose of this survey is to obtain insights into employer perceptions of TVET College graduates and the curriculum. The survey findings will be used to inform curriculum reform for TVET Colleges in South Africa.

The survey is being conducted by the Swiss South African Cooperation Initiative (SSACI), which has been contracted by the Institute of Post School Studies (IPSS) of the University of Western Cape (UWC). This project is one of a suite of research projects that UWC has been appointed to manage by the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET).
