Dolly Mangena has been appointed as the new Vredendal Campus Manager of West Coast TVET College and has a proud background in not only the sector but also in other sectors and industries.
Growing up in Limpopo, indeed a very rural province within South Africa and now leading one of the college’s in one of the more rural communities on the West Coast was just a great fit for this go-getter.
After her grade 12 she completed various qualification including: Senior Teachers Diploma, BTech in Education Management and holds National Diploma in Human Resource Management and Marketing Management.
“Education and people run in my veins and therefore I continued the path of becoming a part of the TVET Sector,” says Dolly.
She worked at Sir Val Duncan Technical College in as a lecturer and from there she grew and climbed the academic ladder to becoming the Campus Manager that she is today.
“I even had a little stint in the mining sector that taught me a lot as I was in the HR Department and realized that people, when they are cared for, can be their worth in gold,” Dolly added.
She came back to the then “#1 college” Northlink TVET College where was the Head of Department for Business Studies, Marking Centre Manager and the SBA Provincial Coordinator.
Dolly is looking forward to being part of the Campus Management Team Nationally that continues to push the envelopes at the campus level to bring about change and innovation to the various colleges each member represents.
