Resolution Circle has opened applications for its Work Integrated Learning (WIL) programme, targeting South African TVET College students who have completed the N6 level and need practical experience to progress toward their National N Diploma.
About the Opportunity
This WIL programme addresses the critical practical component TVET students require after finishing their theoretical studies. It combines practical workshop training with experiential learning and may include on-the-job experience with a host employer, depending on the student’s qualification and programme structure.
Who Can Apply
The programme is intended specifically for TVET students who have completed N6 and require the WIL component to advance toward their National N Diploma. It is not a general internship or learnership for those with only a Matric certificate.
Programme Details
- Duration: Approximately 6 to 18 months, sometimes extended to 24 months, based on WIL requirements.
- Training Components: Workshop-based practical training, experiential training where students engage in engineering projects, and potentially an on-the-job component with an employer.
- Locations: Training is delivered in Gauteng, with facilities in Doornfontein, Johannesburg; Brakpan in Ekurhuleni; and Welkom in the Free State. Applicants should confirm their specific training location.
- Programme Structures: Options include a 9 + 9 model (9 months workshop + 9 months experiential) and a 6 + 6 + 6 model (6 months each for workshop, experiential, and on-the-job training).
Funding and Costs
Applicants should be aware that Resolution Circle’s WIL programme is self-funded. Students are responsible for tuition and related costs unless they secure sponsorship, bursaries, or employer funding. It is important not to assume this is a paid internship with stipends, as financial support depends on external arrangements.
Important Considerations Before Applying
- Confirm your N6 results and WIL requirements with your TVET College.
- Ensure the programme structure aligns with your diploma pathway.
- Request detailed fee information and what the fee covers from Resolution Circle.
- Prepare necessary documents such as academic transcripts, a letter confirming WIL requirements from your college, and an updated CV.
- Understand that acceptance into the programme is not guaranteed by submitting an application.
- Investigate potential bursaries, employer funding, or SETA support to offset costs.
Application Process
Applications must be submitted directly through Resolution Circle’s official platform dedicated to TVET Work Integrated Learning. Prospective students need to provide accurate information on their college, qualification, specialisation, and WIL needs.
