Eastern Cape
From automotive plants to the Wild Coast
The province is home to major vehicle manufacturing in Nelson Mandela Bay and Buffalo City, large universities in Makhanda, Gqeberha, East London and Mthatha, and a provincial government based in Bhisho. Manufacturing suppliers, public services and universities all depend on staff who are comfortable with computers, data and online systems.
Away from the metros, especially along the Wild Coast and in the former Transkei districts, learners often have talent and motivation but no nearby place to learn. Online classes change that: every learner gets the same facilitator time, practice exercises and practical assessment, wherever they log in from.
