AT THE core of our TVET programming is a recognition that our graduates must be equipped to create employment for themselves and those around them. The approach also contributes to the policy thrust of the government on growing the Macro-Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). The MSME sector has become an integral part of youth employment and economic growth and development in the country.
As a result, we promote entrepreneurial skills and knowledge which enable our graduates to be a perfect fit for the job. At the same time. we promote them to start and grow their businesses. In doing so, BPC positions the youths to be employers, mentors, as well as hand-holders of their peers in business as well as others in the community.
True to that spirit, one of our graduates Tobias T Ndlovu now runs a successful business Pinnacle of Steel. The company employs up to ten youths during busy intervals and is incubated at Thorngrove under BPC’s small business incubation programme. Tobias has become a master craftsman, mentor, and trainer to our students in the area of Metal Fabrication.
Tobias is currently contracted to do a job by a reputable financial services institution in the City of Bulawayo. His excellence as a craftsman has earned him the trust of reputable institutions and individual customers in Bulawayo and surrounding areas. He is one of many other graduates of BPC who have made us an institution of note in TVET programming and the creation of employment in the City of Bulawayo and the country.
