The Community College Initiative offers the following fields of study to South Africans: Applied Engineering Applied engineering students theoretical and applied skills in a technical field. Some programs are designed to train technicians in fundamental skills for a trade; other programs focus on technical background, system design, equipment troubleshooting, and technology and management issues within a technical field. Potential fields include automotive manufacturing technology, construction management, electronics, energy management, engineering tech, heating ventilation and air conditioning, manufacturing maintenance, and welding. Applicants for applied engineering must have a solid foundation in mathematics; they should expect to take a math placement test at their host campus. Business Management and Administration Business managers typically plan, organize, direct, and oversee operations and employers. They may become supervisors in a company; they may seek to start up a business of their own; or they may seek to improve an existing family enterprise. Exact duties depend on the type of business, company, and industry. Students may explore fields include accounting, banking and finance, bookkeeping, business technology, customer service, energy and sustainability, entrepreneurship, financial management, human resources, international business, leadership development, marketing, project management, office administration, sales, small business management, and supply chain management. Early Childhood Education Early childhood education programs combine classroom instruction with supervised, hands-on experience to prepare students for early childhood education and care positions. The programs focus on early childhood development and curriculum development. Potential subjects include early childhood development, infant and toddler care specialization, school-age specialization, family childcare specialization, and paraprofessional teacher assistantships. Information Technology (IT) IT studies focus on how information and computing systems support business, research, and communications needs. Instruction ranges from the basics of computer hardware to the complex relationship between humans and computers. Students may explore subjects like commercial art tech, computer animation, computer forensics, computer information systems (CIS), computer support, data recovery, databases, digital media, help desk services, geographic information system (GIS), multimedia, mobile application development, networking, programming, and web analysis and design. Media Students in media studies examine content, production, and the effects of various media. Students may explore subjects like advertising, computer animation, desktop publishing, digital media, film making, graphic design, public relations, social media, television, and visual communication.
