Amazing Free Business Training Program Opens Doors for Young South Africans – Apply Before September 9th
Gert Sibande TVET College invites suitably qualified applicants to apply for their Work Integrated Learning Business Studies Vacancies (20 Posts). The closing date for applications is September 9th, 2025 at 15:30.
Are you between 18 and 35 years old and looking for a chance to learn business skills while getting real work experience? This could be exactly what you need to jumpstart your career. Gert Sibande TVET College has teamed up with W&RSETA to bring you an incredible opportunity that combines classroom learning with actual work experience.
What Makes This Program Special
This is not just another boring classroom course where you sit and listen to lectures all day. The Work Integrated Learning program is designed to give you hands-on experience in real business environments. Think of it as getting paid to learn while working at actual companies in the Gert Sibande Region.
The program focuses on Report 191 Business Studies, which means you will learn practical business skills that employers actually want. Instead of just reading about business theories from textbooks, you will be working alongside experienced professionals who can teach you the real secrets of running successful businesses.
Who Can Apply for This Program
The good news is that the entry requirements are pretty straightforward. You need to have completed one of these qualifications: Business Management, Marketing Management, Human Resource Management, Financial Management, or Management Assistant. These are common courses offered at many colleges across South Africa.
The age requirement is between 18 and 35 years old, which gives young adults plenty of time to apply. You also need to be proficient in English and have a clean criminal record. Most importantly, you need to show that you are willing to learn and grow in your career.
Special Requirements You Should Know About
Here is something really important that makes this program unique. It is specifically designed for South African citizens who are under 36 years old, unemployed, and have never been placed in any Work Integrated Learning program before while holding the same qualification. This means if you have the right qualification but have never had the chance to get real work experience, this program is perfect for you.
Students who are already volunteering with companies will get first priority. If you are currently volunteering somewhere, make sure you have a valid confirmation letter from your host company. The letter must be recent, properly dated, and have the official company stamp. This shows that you are already committed to gaining work experience.
Application Process Made Simple
Getting your application ready is easier than you might think. You need to prepare several important documents before applying. First, make sure you have an updated CV that shows all your education and any work experience you might have had, even if it was just part-time jobs or volunteering.
You will also need certified copies of all your certificates. This includes your Matric certificate and any college certificates you have earned. Make sure these copies are not older than six months, as the college will not accept old certified copies.
Your ID document copy is also required, and it should not be older than six months either. This is a standard requirement for all official applications in South Africa.
Application Submission Options
You have two convenient ways to submit your application. The first option is to email your documents to ssjclerk@gscollege.edu.za. Make sure all your documents are clearly scanned and easy to read before sending them.
If you prefer to submit your application in person, you can visit any Gert Sibande TVET College campus. Look for the SSS Office, Centre, or Office of Career Guidance and Job Placement. The staff there will help you submit your application properly.
What Happens After You Apply
After submitting your application, the college will only contact candidates who make it to the shortlist. This means if you do not hear from them, it probably means your application was not successful this time.
Selected candidates will go through a detailed screening process. This includes criminal record checks, interviews, medical examinations, and other assessments. The college wants to make sure they choose the best candidates who will succeed in the program.
Why This Opportunity Matters
This program is more than just training. It is your chance to build a real career in business. The skills you learn and the connections you make during this 18-month program can open doors to permanent employment opportunities.
Many companies prefer to hire people who have completed work-integrated learning programs because they know these candidates have both theoretical knowledge and practical experience. This gives you a huge advantage when looking for jobs after completing the program.
The program also helps you understand different aspects of business, from management and marketing to finance and human resources. This broad knowledge makes you valuable to many different types of employers.
