The objective of the Gauteng Schools of Excellence project is to support and equip four TVET colleges within the Gauteng region that will address the needs of the Wholesale and Retail Sector through education, training and skills development initiatives. The Project will address challenges identified by TVET colleges through building the necessary capacity to offer retail programmes. Additionally, the project will assist the TVET Colleges to position themselves as preferred training providers for the Wholesale and Retail Sector. The W&RSETA will provide financial support to institutions for infrastructure development, lecturer capacitation and the implementation of Learnership programmes. This project is based on the model of the highly successful KZN SOE.
