Overview
TVET, university of technology and lecturer workplace exposure. This Edupstairs guide explains how the Work Integrated Learning pathway fits into ETDP SETA, what prospective applicants should look for and which catalogue records are currently linked to this pathway.
Who this is for
TVET, university and university-of-technology learners who require workplace learning to complete a qualification.
Typical eligibility and entry requirements
Applicants usually need to be registered for, or to have completed, the academic component required before workplace placement.
The duration is not universal. It depends on the specific work integrated learning programme, qualification or funded project.
Funding or allowances vary by project and are not automatic.
Workplace placement is central to WIL and should align with the learner’s programme requirements.
