AgriSETA Funds New Graduate and Internship Programmes at Tshwane South TVET College 2026

AgriSETA, in partnership with Tshwane South TVET College and supported by the Department of Higher Education and Training, has officially opened applications for funded Graduate and Internship Programmes running into 2026. These programmes are aimed at TVET graduates and students who have completed their studies but still need structured workplace exposure to improve their employability.

Why These Programmes Matter

TVET graduates are among the most affected by unemployment in South Africa, often due to limited access to workplace experience. These AgriSETA-funded programmes play a critical role in addressing that challenge by:

• Providing structured, supervised workplace exposure
• Enhancing employability through real-world skills
• Supporting youth development and economic participation
• Bridging the gap between theory and practice

For many participants, these programmes serve as a stepping stone into permanent employment or further professional opportunities.

With structured training, recognised workplace exposure, and full institutional support, these programmes are well suited for young people who are serious about building sustainable careers.

The closing date for applications is 16 January 2026, and all applications must be hand-delivered to the designated campuses before this deadline. Late or incomplete submissions will not be accepted, so applicants are strongly encouraged to prepare their documents early and apply on time.
