Corporates Vote Eduvos as the Best Provider of Private Higher Education.

Post by Eduvos, August 28, 2024.

We are proud to announce that we have once again been awarded PMR.africa's Diamond Arrow Award as the highest-rated private higher education provider in South Africa for the second consecutive year. As this award is voted for by corporations and industries across South Africa, it highlights our commitment to producing industry-ready graduates. 

The PMR.africa Awards acknowledge organisations across all industries for their excellence. Business, corporate, and industry employ graduates from various private higher education institutions, were surveyed between April and May. Eduvos was rated on academic knowledge, application of knowledge in the workplace, innovation, leadership and communication skills.  

We take immense pride in our efforts to provide quality, affordable education to students from across Africa. Our mission is to shape potential–student by student–towards Africa’s prosperity and ensure that students leave with the practical skills, attributes, and knowledge they need to make a difference in their communities and future employers. 

"Receiving the PMR.africa Diamond Arrow Award for the second consecutive year is a testament to Eduvos's unwavering commitment to excellence,” says Eduvos CEO, Siegie Brownlee. “This recognition affirms our dedication to not only providing high-quality education but also ensuring our students are ready and equipped to thrive in their careers. This award is a reflection of our steadfast mission to shape the potential of each student, contributing to the prosperity of Africa."   

The institution is honoured to be recognised by companies and corporate leaders that employ its graduates. Committed to ensuring students graduate with both a qualification and industry-relevant skills, we continually update our curriculum to align with current trends, delivered by a rich blend of academics and industry experts. 

In keeping with our goal of ensuring the employability of our students, we have  dedicated Employability Centres, which focuses on equipping students with the critical skills that make them valuable employees. We also have a Work Integrated Learning programme that requires all students to be placed at an organisation in their final year of study. This practical work exposure provides students with an overview of what they can expect in future employment opportunities and within their field of study. 

As further proof of Eduvos’s commitment to creating real-world-ready graduates, twenty students have made it to the Top 500 of this year’s GradStar Awards. This programme recognises the most employable students in South Africa. Eduvos was the only Private Higher Education to be ranked in the Top 10 Universities and institutions represented at this year’s awards. 

This year, we also launched the Alumni Association, which allows Eduvos Alumni to stay informed about what is happening at Eduvos and to easily connect with their Alma Mater, current students, staff, and corporate partners. This will also allow students to find job opportunities and corporate to find suitable candidates for open roles within their companies. 

Eduvos will be honoured at PMR.africa’s annual awards ceremony, on 28 August.
