What’s the job?
If you’re a 15‑year‑old who just finished high school or a student still in college, and you want to step out of the classroom and into the real world, the Tshwane South TVET College has a chance for you. Together with AgriSETA and the Department of Higher Education and Training, the college is opening doors for two special programmes in 2026: an AgriSETA‑funded Internship that lasts 18 months, and an AgriSETA‑funded Graduate Programme that runs for 12 months. Both offer hands‑on work experience, a solid learning plan, and skills that employers actually need.
When and Where
- Closing date: 16 January 2026
- Location: Pretoria, Gauteng
Make sure you send your application before that date – no late entries will be taken.
What You’ll Get
Both programmes give you a chance to work in real companies while you’re still studying (WIL) or after you’ve finished your diploma. You’ll learn:
- How a job actually works, not just theory
- Skills that match what employers want in the market
- A stronger resume that can help you land a permanent job later
These are great for students who want to jump from school into a career, or for graduates who need a first taste of the workplace.
Two Types of Programmes
1. Internship Programme – Work Integrated Learning (18 Months)
Who it’s for:
- Students still taking part of their diploma that requires practical training
- Students with an N4–N6 qualification (the South African system’s levels)
- Those who have an official in‑service letter from their campus
What you’ll learn:
- Management Assistance – help run a business, keep records, support managers
- Tourism – work with travel companies, hotels, or visitor centres
The internship is a long‑term, hands‑on experience that helps you build a professional network while you finish your studies.
2. AgriSETA‑Funded Graduate Programme (12 Months)
Who it’s for:
- TVET graduates who have completed their diploma
- People looking for a structured work experience after finishing school
- Those who can dedicate a whole year to the programme
What you’ll learn:
- Management Assistance – similar to the internship but at a more advanced level
- Financial Management – manage budgets, track expenses, help with accounting
- Hospitality – work in hotels, restaurants, or event venues
The graduate programme is shorter but packed with practical work that can open doors to a future career.
Minimum Requirements
To apply, you need to bring a few documents with you:
- A clean CV that lists your education and any work or volunteer experience
- A certified copy of your ID that is not older than six months
- Certified copies of your N4–N6 certificates or your diploma
- An in‑service letter from your college (for the internship) or a letter confirming you’ve finished your 18‑month training (for the graduate programme)
- A motivational letter for the graduate programme (tell us why you want this chance)
Important: If you miss any of these, your application will not be considered.
