Last week at SABEN Connects 2026, a group of passionate people met in Cape Town. TVET College IT Managers, Principals, Educators and industry professionals from across the country gathered to hear a range of voices from the community.

Thank you to all the attendees who joined us and engaged with the central theme of empowering students and teachers through the mindful application of technology.

We’re proud to recognise Comsol as a long-standing partner of SABEN and a Silver Sponsor of SABEN Connects.
For more than a decade, Comsol and SABEN have worked together to connect TVET colleges to South Africa’s research and education network, helping extend quality connectivity beyond our metropolitan centres and into rural communities.
It’s a partnership built on a simple idea: where a student learns should not determine the quality of digital access they receive.
We’re proud to have Comsol alongside us as we bring the TVET community together at SABEN Connects.
