TNC has a large staff contingent consisting of lecturers and support personnel. The lecturers provide tuition in the various academic disciplines, while the support staff's main duties involve administration and human resource development.

Staff members are encouraged to join the Staff Forum as well as trade unions of their choice in order to ensure that their interests are protected and promoted. There are also ample opportunities for them for further development, eg they can become members of bodies such as the Academic board and the various council sub committees.
