Majuba TVET College Millwright Occupational Apprenticeship Programme 2026

Students studying engineering-related programmes at Majuba TVET College have an opportunity to gain practical artisan training through the Majuba TVET College Millwright Occupational Apprenticeship Programme 2026.

Majuba TVET College, in partnership with the Health and Welfare Sector Education and Training Authority (HWSETA), is inviting qualifying students to apply for a funded Millwright Occupational Apprenticeship Programme.

Applications close on 10 September 2026.

This opportunity is particularly important for students who have completed or are studying towards N3 or NCV Level 4 and want to progress from classroom-based technical education into practical occupational and artisan development.

Students who want to explore Majuba’s programmes, campuses, admission information and study pathways can visit the Edupstairs Majuba TVET College 2027 page. The Edupstairs college explorer currently lists 20 structured Majuba programmes, including engineering pathways such as Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Engineering and Related Design.

Quick Overview

What Is the Majuba TVET College Millwright Apprenticeship?

The programme provides selected Majuba TVET College students with an opportunity to enter an occupational apprenticeship in the Millwright trade.

A millwright is a skilled artisan whose work can involve the installation, maintenance, repair and fault-finding of industrial machinery and equipment. Because the occupation can combine mechanical and electrical competencies, it is an important technical career pathway in industries such as manufacturing, mining, processing and industrial maintenance.

For TVET College students, an apprenticeship can provide the practical occupational development needed to move beyond theoretical engineering studies and towards becoming a skilled artisan.

This is therefore not simply another academic course at Majuba TVET College. Applicants are being recruited for an occupational apprenticeship programme.

Minimum Requirements

The recruitment advert specifies that applicants must meet the following criteria:

• Have a full N3 or NCV Level 4 qualification.
• Have studied or currently be studying at Majuba TVET College.
• Be below 35 years of age.
• Not have participated in a previous apprenticeship programme.

Applicants should check these requirements carefully before submitting an application.

The condition relating to Majuba TVET College is particularly important. The advert specifically states that the student must have studied or currently be studying at Majuba TVET College. This should therefore not be treated as a general apprenticeship open to students from every TVET College.

HWSETA Funding and the SETA Connection

The advert states that this apprenticeship programme is funded by HWSETA — the Health and Welfare Sector Education and Training Authority.

SETA-funded programmes can include different skills-development interventions, and eligibility depends on the particular programme, funding arrangement, employer/provider and recruitment criteria.

Edupstairs has created a dedicated HWSETA section where students and job seekers can explore programmes and understand available skills-development pathways:

Explore HWSETA Programmes on the Edupstairs SETA Platform

The Edupstairs SETA Platform also includes an eligibility checker and structured programme catalogue to help users understand different SETA pathways. Applicants should remember that programme requirements are opportunity-specific; being generally eligible for a SETA pathway does not automatically qualify someone for this particular apprenticeship.

Documents Required

Applicants need to prepare the following documents:

1. Curriculum Vitae (CV)
   Your CV must be no longer than two pages.
2. Certified ID
   Include a certified copy of your identification document.
3. Academic History
   Applicants must include their academic history showing their relevant studies and qualifications.

There is also an important document-format requirement in the advert.

All crucial documents must be submitted in PDF format.

The college specifically warns applicants not to submit documents in CamScanner, picture/image format or other formats. Applicants should therefore combine or convert the required documentation into properly readable PDF files before emailing their application.

How to Apply

Qualifying applicants must submit their:

CV (maximum two pages) + Certified ID + Academic History

by email to: applicationsnewcastletrainingc@gmail.com

Also Check: What to Write in an Email When Sending Your CV

The recruitment advert lists the application subject as: OC-MILLWRIGHT2026

Applicants should use that subject line exactly unless Majuba TVET College issues an updated instruction.

Before sending the email, check that all attachments open correctly, are readable and are in PDF format.

Application Deadline

Applications close on: 10 September 2026

The advert states that late applications will not be considered.

Applicants should therefore avoid waiting until the final day, particularly because missing attachments, incorrectly formatted documents or an incorrect email subject could cause problems with an application.

What Happens If You Are Shortlisted?

Submitting an application does not guarantee admission into the apprenticeship.

According to the advert, shortlisted candidates will be subjected to an assessment and selection process that may include:

Interview → Aptitude Test → Psychometric Test → Physical Fitness Testing

Applicants should therefore prepare for more than a conventional interview.

For an occupational programme involving technical and practical work, candidates may be assessed on their suitability for the training environment as part of the selection process.

Contact Majuba TVET College About the Programme

For enquiries regarding the apprenticeship, the advert directs applicants to contact:

Mr Nompilo Nyawo
Newcastle Training Centre
Telephone: 034 3182 021
Extension: 212

The advert also displays the address: 2 HJ Van Eck Drive

Applicants should use the contact details for genuine programme-related enquiries rather than sending repeated application emails.

Why This Opportunity Matters for TVET Students

One of the major challenges facing technical students is bridging the gap between obtaining theoretical qualifications and acquiring meaningful workplace or occupational experience.

Apprenticeships are designed around occupational competence. They can expose learners to structured practical training and the competencies required within a particular trade.

For students who want to build an artisan career, this type of opportunity can therefore represent an important progression route after N3 or NCV engineering studies.

Majuba itself offers several engineering-related study pathways. Its current Edupstairs profile includes NATED engineering programmes and NC(V) Engineering and Related Design, among other technical programmes.

Edupstairs Advice

Do not apply simply because you have an engineering qualification. First check every eligibility condition, particularly the requirements concerning Majuba TVET College attendance, age, qualification level and previous apprenticeship participation.

Prepare your documents early and save them as clearly named PDFs, for example:

Name-Surname-CV.pdf
Name-Surname-ID.pdf
Name-Surname-Academic-History.pdf

Most importantly, submit before 10 September 2026 rather than relying on a last-minute application.

Students who are not eligible for this particular opportunity should continue exploring other colleges and pathways through the Edupstairs TVET Colleges Explorer and skills-development opportunities through the Edupstairs SETA Platform.
