Your Pathway to a Thriving Career in Tourism & Hospitality
Are you an N6 graduate in Tourism or Hospitality eager to kickstart your professional journey? Tshwane South TVET College, in collaboration with Services SETA and the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET), is offering an invaluable Work Integrated Learning (WIL) Programme for 2026. This is your chance to gain essential practical experience and secure your National Technical Certificate.
What is Work Integrated Learning (WIL) and Why is it Crucial?
Work Integrated Learning (WIL) is a mandatory practical component of TVET qualifications in South Africa. After successfully completing your theoretical studies from N1 to N6, you must complete 18 months of approved workplace experience to qualify for your National Technical Certificate (N6 Diploma). Many N6 graduates face the challenge of finding suitable placements independently. This structured WIL programme is designed to bridge that gap, providing you with supervised, relevant industry experience that complies with DHET standards, ensuring you're job-ready.
Programme Details and Fields of Study
This 18-month programme is specifically tailored for students who have completed their N6 in either:
- Tourism N6
- Hospitality N6
These fields fall under the extensive scope of the Services SETA, covering diverse industries such as travel and tourism, accommodation services, food and beverage, hospitality management, and related service sectors. This means you'll gain experience in a dynamic and growing industry.
Benefits of Participating in this WIL Programme
Participating in a structured WIL programme offers significant advantages:
- Structured Placement Support: Avoid the struggle of finding your own workplace exposure.
- Official Recognition: Your experience is officially recognised by Services SETA and counts towards your qualification.
