The purpose of this paper is to propose measures for strengthening and supporting partnerships between Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges and a range of stakeholders.
Since the advent of democracy there has been a proliferation of policy outlines that make constant referral to South Africa as a “developmental state” and the solutions to its structural problems as contained within that ideological paradigm. Closely in step with the developmental state narrative, the Green Paper for Post-School Education and Training (2012) and the subsequent White Paper (2014) labour the point of promoting the growth of strong partnerships between TVET Colleges and employers.
