Overview
Workplace placement for TVET and university graduates who need experience. This Edupstairs guide explains how the Graduate Placement pathway fits into AgriSETA, what prospective applicants should look for and which catalogue records are currently linked to this pathway.
Who this is for
Graduates who need practical workplace exposure and an entry route into the labour market.
Typical eligibility and entry requirements
A relevant completed qualification is normally required, together with any criteria stated by the host employer or funded project.
The duration is not universal. It depends on the specific graduate placement programme, qualification or funded project.
A stipend may be offered where a funded placement provides one; amounts and terms vary.
The pathway is primarily workplace based and aims to build practical experience.
