(01) Matric/Grade 12 Driver positions at Cape Peninsula University of Technology in South Africa

Matric/Grade 12 Driver Positions at Cape Peninsula University of Technology: The Cape Peninsula University of Technology was established on 1 January 2005, when the Cape Technikon and Peninsula Technikon merged.

This merger was part of a national transformation process that transformed the higher education landscape in South Africa.

Today, this institution is the only university of technology in the Western Cape and is the largest university in the region, boasting more than 30 000 students, several campuses and service points, and more than 70 programs.

However, the institution has humble beginnings in the Cape Technikon and Peninsula Technikon, which date back to the early 1900’s.

The Cape Technikon has its roots in the Cape Technical College, which was established in Longmarket Street in 1920. The establishment of the college followed more than ten years of petitioning by the community for the consolidation of technical courses that had been offered in various venues in Cape Town.

In the late 1960’s, this institution had its status changed to a College for Advanced Technical Education and was renamed the Cape College for Advanced Technical Education.
