When it comes to choosing an academic programme to study, that leads to good employment, be sure to look at occupational programmes which prepare a student for a specific occupation.<\/p>\n
This is the advice from Ruan Venter, registrar of Boston City Campus and Business College.<\/p>
Listed below are distinct advantages to studying these courses:<\/strong><\/p>\n 1. Register at any time \u2013 due to the training methodology, students can register for occupational programmes at almost any time.<\/p> 2. A National Senior Certificate or National Certificate (Vocational) may not necessarily be required.<\/p>\n 3. Opens doors to higher learning.<\/p>\n 4. Short courses \u2013 most occupational programmes can be completed within a 12-month period.<\/p>\n 5. Employment ready \u2013 occupational programmes are less theoretical in nature and tend to be more practically orientated in their teaching methodology and learning outcomes.<\/p>\n \u201cBoston\u2019s provision of a wide range of occupational programmes is important in meeting the institution’s mission to provide quality and relevant education and training to all its students and to create a culture of lifelong learning, correcting inequalities and underscoring aspirations as specified by the Council on Higher Education,\u201d said Venter.<\/p>\n \u201cThe institution\u2019s education offerings serve to meet the needs of employees and professionals to continually upgrade their skills and knowledge.<\/p>\n \u201cFurthermore, our offerings enable access to higher education to those who were denied or may not meet the formal requirements for high education.\u201d<\/p>\n Boston City Campus and Business College offers a variety of occupational programmes in fields such as health, sport and wellness, secretarial, public relations, business communication and service to mention a few.<\/p>\n To find out more, go to www.boston.co.za and reference the prospectus on occupational programmes headed with \u201cWe know you have big dreams\u201d.<\/p>\n Prospective students and parents are also welcome to go to the Boston City Campus and Business College branch in Germiston and to speak to a career advisor face-to-face if they need further clarification and information on occupational programmes.<\/p>\n The career advice service is offered free of charge.<\/p>\n For more information visit the institution on the Second Floor of the Trust Bank Building, at the corner of Victoria and Odendaal streets, in the Germiston CBD.<\/p>\n You can also call them on 011 872-0252\/3 or visit www.boston.co.za<\/p>\n
