At 260 km away from the Central Office in George, this is the most remote Campus of South Cape TVET College. Beaufort West Campus has been declared a nodal area for development and assistance. South Cape TVET College is responding with initiatives to respond to this need.

The courses offered are an identified priority for Beaufort West Campus to empower the community by improving employability, thereby providing marketable skills that may be utilized by business and industry.

Not only will skills training empower the local community by improving their employability through entrepreneurial possibilities created by many of SCC’s courses, but students may also be able to become self-employed. They may eventually be in a position to develop self-sustainable enterprises and become employers in their own right thereby contributing to the reduction of unemployment in Beaufort West.
