Majuba TVET College, in partnership with CHIETA, is looking for suitable young people to apply for their Workplace Based Learning Programme opportunities. The closing date for applications is 13 February 2026.
What the Programme Looks Like
Imagine getting paid while you learn real‑world skills that employers actually want. This 12‑month training will drop you straight into an engineering or construction job site in Newcastle, KwaZulu‑Natal, where you’ll:
- Work alongside seasoned pros on real projects
- Master safety rules, machinery and teamwork
- Get hands‑on time that makes your CV shine
- Receive a stipend that covers transport, meals and basic living expenses
It’s not a permanent job – it’s a launchpad into a full‑time role, an apprenticeship or further study.
