We are pleased to share that the induction programme for our Experiential Learning (1INF410) students at Mhlathuze Municipality was a great success.

This marks an important milestone as our students begin their practical learning journey, where they will gain valuable real-world experience and apply their academic knowledge in a professional environment.

We sincerely appreciate Mhlathuze Municipality for accommodating our students and for their continued support in developing future information professionals. Your commitment to student growth and community development is truly valued.

We wish our students all the best as they embark on this enriching experience.
