On 5 July 2025, the Department of Computer Sciences, under the Faculty of Applied and Computer Sciences (FACS), led an online applications session for Grade 12 learners from Suncrest High School as part of its community service initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Executive Dean of FACS, Professor Christa Grobler, emphasised the importance of the coming months for the learners, stating that their choices now will shape their future. \u201cYou can do it,\u201d she encouraged warmly. She reaffirmed the department\u2019s commitment to supporting the learners in securing the best possible opportunity to invest in their future through further education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the session, learners were guided through the online application process and introduced to programmes offered by VUT as well as institutions such as Tshwane University of Technology (TUT). The application process was broken down step by step, empowering students to navigate digital platforms with confidence as they apply for courses aligned with their aspirations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the enthusiastic learners, Ms Botshelo Mbele reflected with heartfelt sincerity: \u201cHonestly, my eyes have been opened. I had never considered applying to a university of technology before, but now, VUT will be at the top of my list.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Echoing her enthusiasm, Mr Sanele Mashinini shared, \u201cMy experience so far has been wonderful. We are well taken care of, and the atmosphere is delightful. I\u2019m looking forward to applying and discovering the career path that suits me best.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Learners were also encouraged to embrace digital fluency and explore future pathways in Artificial Intelligence (AI). This initiative by the Department of Computer Sciences exemplifies VUT\u2019s commitment to nurturing talent through meaningful outreach that demystifies higher education and fosters access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The overwhelmingly positive feedback from the Suncrest High School engagement affirms the university\u2019s proactive role in opening doors and shaping minds. As Strategy 2033+ gains momentum, initiatives like this highlight VUT\u2019s resolve to cultivate<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">excellence, drive innovation, and equip the next generation of South African leaders with the tools to thrive in a digital future.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;VUT\u2019s Computer Sciences Department assists Suncrest
