New chairperson for Northlink College council

The council, management and staff believe that she is the best person for the position and have expressed their satisfaction with the process. She has significant knowledge and experience, garnered by working or participating at board level at a range of top companies and institutions, such as The Sunflower Fund, where she is currently CEO, as well as the Cape Town Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
She explains: “In order to succeed as chairperson, having a sound knowledge of the following is important: knowledge of the TVET sector, the role of the colleges that fall under the jurisdiction of the TVET sector; the overall post-school sector, as envisaged by the Green Paper on Post School Education in South Africa; experience in strategic planning and decision-making, and understanding the programme qualification mix (PQM) and how the right PQM can support employability, to name but a few. I also think you need a positive attitude, the ability to think holistically, to work in a team and to support conflict resolution.”
Northlink College is delighted that with the appointment: “We wish Alana much success in her great task, and envisage that she takes the college to greater heights during her term as the official chairperson of Northlink College,” said Leon Beech, CEO of Northlink College.
