CHALLENGES

• training of newly appointed personnel

  procurement procedures since this is the first
  time for them to procure for building and
  upgrading of systems, etc.
• Approval of plans is a lengthy process while
  tenders for building cannot be advertised before
  the approval of plans

22
CHALLENGES CONT

• Project management fees. Recapitalization
  project does not cater for the appointment of
  staff, e.g. project managers, which makes it
  difficult for the colleges to manage such a big
  project.
• The alignment of programmes in the FET Colleges
  such that all the demands of the Province are met
  fairly.
