Orbit TVET College Open for Second Semester

Thousands of young people across North West Province from the bustling streets of Rustenburg to the smaller towns like Brits and Mankwe are invited to apply for the second semester intake at Orbit TVET College for 2025. Individuals from other provinces are welcome to apply for this opportunity.

In a world where universities often dominate the headlines, TVET colleges remain the quiet champions of practical education. Orbit TVET College is a leading example of what happens when technical excellence meets real-world relevance.

Founded with the purpose of equipping students with employable skills, Orbit has grown from a modest college into a multi-campus institution that produces job-ready graduates and budding entrepreneurs every year.

Why the Second Semester Matters

Most students are aware of the January intake, but the mid-year intake remains underutilized — often due to lack of awareness. Here's why the second semester is a golden opportunity:

• Less Competitive Entry: With fewer applicants, programs often have more availability, increasing the chances of acceptance.
• Accelerated Career Path: Instead of waiting for the next year, second-semester students get a head-start, and in many cases, finish their qualifications earlier.
• Catch-Up Opportunity: For those who missed the January deadline, had financial constraints, or wanted a career switch, this is your second chance.
• Workforce Demand: Certain trades and programs align with business cycles, meaning second-semester graduates often enter the job market at just the right time.

Campuses at the Heart of Community Development

Orbit TVET College operates across three main campuses:

Rustenburg Campus: The flagship campus, nestled in one of the most industrially active areas in SA, it offers access to mining, engineering, and hospitality industries.

Brits Campus: Known for its emphasis on business studies and ICT, this campus serves the eastern region with courses that match local economic needs.

Mankwe Campus: A center of community upliftment, this campus offers vocational programs that empower rural and peri-urban students with marketable skills.

NOTE: Each campus is equipped with modern facilities, well-trained staff, and partnerships with industry players to ensure students receive not only theoretical knowledge but also hands-on practical training.
