Orbit TVET College is a public college in South Africa's North West Province, operating three campuses — Brits, Mankwe and Rustenburg — with a central office in Rustenburg. The college's own website does not publish a specific establishment date or merger history. It offers programmes quality-assured by both Umalusi (vocational NCV programmes) and the QCTO (occupational programmes), with a stated focus on increasing enrolment of youth not in education, employment or training (NEETs) in priority and critical skills areas.
