Mutare Polytechnic, On the Job Education and Training Department (OJET) is a service department in the Polytechnic which plans, organises and coordinates industrial attachment.

Our vision is to be a dynamic, credible and accessible department which provides quality attachment supervision and student guidance.

For 2019 our Theme is Economic empowerment & growth through TVETisation

And Our Motto is “We are the Pacesetter in OJET”.

Three months prior to attachment, students are oriented on attachment process, work ethics and accompanying documents.

Attachment period is at most one year.

Students are assessed at most 3 times in a year by Polytechnic lecturers and HEXCO external assessors.

Students register for HEXCO examination in the year they partake OJET.

At completion a student submits a filled logbook and typed spiral bound report for HEXCO, marks computation.

Zimbabwe Manpower Development Fund (ZIMDEF) gives $100 allowance per student per month worked. Attaching organisations are also given $50 as a rebate per month per student.

A student who starts attachment after the 15th of that month is not eligible to the ZIMDEF allowance

 Students on part-time, block release, full time employment and foreigners do not access ZIMDEF allowance to avoid double dipping.

Our department   coordinates OJET from four divisions namely Commerce, Engineering, Civil and Construction and Applied Arts & Sciences.

Our enrolment for 2019-January intake is 458, May intake is 260 totalling 718

Our Polytechnic is quite visible throughout Zimbabwe. We have students in faraway places like, Mt Darwin, Vic Falls, Kariba, Hwange, Bulawayo, Plumtree, Beit Bridge and Chiredzi.

We are failing to satisfy demand in some disciplines like Office Management, Construction, Marketing and Hospitality.

Our students are well versed with teaching, research, community service, innovation and industrialisation which are cardinal focuses of the ministry’s blue print of EDUCATION 5.O.

We empower students to think outside the box, carry out research to initiate innovations that lead to industrialisation in Zimbabwe.

We have partnerships in training with organisations like Zimbabwe Prisons & Correctional Services, Denbury Trading, Tanganda, Hwange Safari Lodge and  Mutare City Council  just to mention a few.

The Mutare Polytechnic Brand is capable of performing to perfection after graduation.
