From the CEO

The unemployment challenges in South Africa are well documented and many academics have written papers regarding these challenges. We believe that our training helps to shift the mindset of our students from that of job seeker to job creation for oneself and others.

We are not just a profit driven institution. Our affordable courses offer value, with a focus on creating a positive impact on the youth and the country's economy.

The Manufacturing Institute of Technology South Africa is a 100% Black owned and 45% woman owned entity.
