ASEZ donates laptops to West Coast TVET College to support student learning
The Atlantis Special Economic Zone (ASEZ) handed over a number of laptops to West Coast TVET College in support of student learning and improved digital access in March.
This donation forms part of ASEZ’s ongoing commitment to responsible asset management and community upliftment. By providing much needed computers to an educational institution, the hope is that the students will eventually be able to live up to their potential.
Waheeda Saib, Chief Financial Officer of the Atlantis Special Economic Zone, emphasised the broader significance of the initiative. “At ASEZ, responsible asset management is not only about compliance and efficiency — it is about impact. By redirecting functional laptops to West Coast TVET College, we are ensuring that public resources continue to create meaningful value beyond their initial lifecycle. Supporting digital access for students is an investment in human capital, and ultimately, in the long-term economic sustainability of the Atlantis region.”
West Coast TVET College, the only TVET institution in the immediate area, plays a critical role in developing technical and vocational skills for the region.
Access to laptops will assist students with research, assignments, online learning, and digital submissions, helping to bridge the digital divide.
ASEZ CEO Matt Cullinan, reaffirmed the zone’s commitment to strengthening the link between industry and education.
“West Coast TVET College plays a pivotal role in developing the technical and vocational skills that our region depends on. As the Atlantis Special Economic Zone, we recognise that industrial growth must be matched by skills development. This donation reflects our commitment to strengthening the partnership between industry and education, ensuring that young people are equipped with the digital tools they need to participate fully in the modern economy. Together, we are building a skilled workforce that will drive the future of Atlantis.”
The official handover concluded with a symbolic presentation of the devices and a shared commitment to continued collaboration between ASEZ and West Coast TVET College.
The event on 3 March 2026, was attended by ASEZ leadership, alongside West Coast TVET College leadership, Atlantis Campus Manager Phumzile Nkuzo, staff, and the Student Representative Council (SRC).
