Thubelihle Graduate Institute (TGI) is a private College, which was conceived as a vehicle to focus on producing graduates who are able to meet the needs of the modern day employer. It focuses on creating entrepreneurs who are able to focus on self-employment and thus be able to be relevant in an ever changing economy. It is a further education and training college which was created out of a need for transformation in the working environments of both the public and private sector. Our primary objective is to nurture and harness the entrepreneurial flair, talent and network of individuals into the mainstream of the organizations where these qualities can be fully utilized within the economy.
We also seek to provide experienced professionals opportunities to express their skills adequately in their respective fields and thus enhancing the socio-economic factors of their communities in particular and their country in general.
To purposefully develop individuals taking cognisance of their specific needs taking into account intellectual capabilities, learning styles, tempo of learning and their personality traits.
To maintain an adult approach which encourages learner self actualisation, within and without, group context and co-operations.
To integrate fully the theory, practice and the work situation in the learners, by amalgamating the foundational, practical and reflexive competence in all skills programmes.
