Finding practical work experience after finishing a TVET qualification is a big challenge for many young South Africans right now. Without real‑world exposure, even a solid NQF Level 4 certificate can leave you stuck. The Letaba TVET College Internship/Workplace Programme 2026/2027 offers exactly the kind of hands‑on training you need, plus a monthly stipend.
What is the programme?
This is a 12‑month, paid internship funded by the Wholesale and Retail SETA (W&R SETA). Successful candidates will be placed in workplaces across Limpopo Province where they will apply the skills they learned in their Level 4 National Certificate.

What will you gain?
