ENGINEERING TRAINING ACADEMY IN SWELLENDAM

(In Association with Automation Works)

*100% internship and employment opportunities for accomplished students

Employment of mechatronics and robotics students is projected to grow faster than the average for all occupations. Job growth is expected because of the broad range of industries in which mechatronics technicians can apply their knowledge in developing and applying emerging technologies. Education is project-based and students build design prototypes of their choice to show their proficiency. We have 3-D printers and a Laser cutter to assist in the creation of these projects.

New Cloud Academy was established in 2016 to provide engineering education for people of all ages who are interested in careers in mechatronics and automation. With the motto ‘Building for the Future’, the academy provides guidance and insight to students who are unsure of which stream of engineering they would like to follow. NCA expose them to ‘trial runs’ of Mechanical Design (SolidWorks), Electronics (Arduino), Strengths of Materials, Robotics, Mechatronics and related fields of interest.

‘GAP’-year courses with value

All our GAP-year students that decided that they are interested in some area of automation are employed. Since we started in 2016, 100% of our students are working in some or other industry. Depending on the job you seek, a batch of skills can be referred to as a skill set or hybrid skills, as these skills often go together within a specific profession or industry. With the knowledge and practical experience students gain at NCA, their knowledge can be seen as hybrid skills, which make them employable in a wide variety of industries. Our courses has a 50|50 balance between theoretical and practical exposure. This enables former students to ‘hit the ground running’ when they start formal employment.
