Capricorn TVET College is offering former students an 18-month Work Integrated Learning opportunity with a R3,800 monthly stipend, targeting Marketing Management and Electrical Engineering N6 graduates who still need practical workplace experience. Applications close on 14 August 2026.
The programme is funded by MICT SETA and focuses specifically on former Capricorn TVET College students who completed one of the two qualifying N6 programmes. Successful candidates will gain workplace exposure linked to their studies while receiving financial support throughout the placement.
Applications must be hand-delivered to the college’s Central Office in Polokwane. The advertisement does not provide an online application route, while emailed applications will not be considered.
Which N6 graduates can join the Capricorn TVET College programme?
This intake is not open across every field offered by the college. Instead, Capricorn TVET College has limited the 2026 Work Integrated Learning opportunity to former students who completed specific N6 qualifications.
Applications are open to former students who completed:
- Marketing Management N6
- Electrical Engineering N6
No additional fields of study are listed for this particular intake. Therefore, applicants should make sure their qualification matches one of these programmes before preparing their documents.
The opportunity is particularly relevant to N6 graduates who have completed the academic component of their studies but still need suitable workplace exposure.
Why could the 18-month placement matter for former students?
For many TVET graduates, completing classroom studies is only one part of the journey towards building a career.
Work Integrated Learning allows candidates to move beyond theory and develop practical experience in a professional environment related to their qualification.
Over the 18-month placement, successful candidates can strengthen areas such as:
- Professional workplace communication.
- Applying classroom knowledge in practical situations.
- Working with colleagues and supervisors.
- Meeting deadlines and workplace standards.
- Preparing reports and maintaining records.
- Developing professional confidence.
- Building experience for a stronger curriculum vitae.
The extended programme period also gives participants time to develop consistent workplace habits rather than receiving only short-term exposure.
How much will successful candidates receive?
Participants will receive a R3,800 monthly stipend during the 18-month Work Integrated Learning programme.
The stipend provides financial support while candidates gain practical experience linked to their N6 studies.
However, applicants should plan their personal expenses carefully and avoid treating the stipend as a permanent salary, since the programme runs for a fixed period.
Who should not submit an application?
Previous participation in certain funded workplace programmes can make an applicant ineligible for this opportunity.
Capricorn TVET College states that candidates should not apply if they have previously participated in or completed an internship funded by a Sector Education and Training Authority or government department.
This restriction means applicants should check their previous workplace training history before submitting documents.
For example, candidates who already completed a government-funded internship should not submit an application simply because they hold one of the required N6 qualifications.
Are applicants with disabilities encouraged to participate?
Yes. Students with disabilities are encouraged to apply for the Work Integrated Learning programme.
The advertisement does not provide a separate application process for candidates with disabilities. Therefore, qualifying applicants should follow the same submission requirements outlined for the programme.
What documents must candidates prepare?
Applicants need to prepare a complete physical application before visiting the Central Office.
The required documents include:
- A signed application letter.
- A detailed and updated curriculum vitae.
- Certified copies of relevant qualifications.
- A certified copy of the applicant’s South African identity document.
Importantly, the certified copies must not be older than three months.
Candidates should therefore check certification dates before travelling to submit their applications. Using outdated certified documents could leave an otherwise suitable application incomplete.
Itumeleng’s Insider Tip: Do not focus only on your curriculum vitae. For this intake, your signed application letter and recently certified documents matter just as much. Check every document before leaving for the Central Office, particularly the certification dates, because the college requires certified copies that are no older than three months.
How can Marketing Management graduates strengthen their application?
Marketing Management graduates should make their academic background easy to identify.
Applicants can highlight N6 subjects, academic projects or practical exposure related to areas such as marketing communication, sales, customer service, market research and business administration where applicable.
However, candidates should keep their curriculum vitae factual. There is no need to exaggerate experience simply because they are entering the workplace for the first time.
Work Integrated Learning exists precisely to help eligible graduates develop practical experience.
What should Electrical Engineering graduates highlight?
Electrical Engineering N6 graduates should clearly list their qualification and relevant technical studies.
Where applicable, candidates may also mention practical college projects, workshop experience, technical assignments or other relevant exposure already completed during their studies.
A clear curriculum vitae helps recruiters quickly connect the applicant’s academic background with the advertised Work Integrated Learning field.
Where must applications be delivered?
Applications must be hand-delivered to Capricorn TVET College’s Central Office. The college’s official materials also identify its Central Office at Market Street in Polokwane.
Candidates should submit their documents to:
Capricorn TVET College – Central Office
16 Market Street
Polokwane
Limpopo
The programme advertisement states that there is no online application process and emailed applications will not be accepted.
Therefore, applicants should not email their curriculum vitae to the enquiry contact expecting it to count as an application.

Telephone: 015 230 1800
The programme notice also provides the following contact for enquiries:

The email address is provided for enquiries only. Applications themselves must still be hand-delivered.
When must applications reach the college?
Applications close on 14 August 2026.
Since applicants must deliver their documents physically, candidates should avoid waiting until the last moment.
Before travelling to submit an application, check that:
- The application letter has been signed.
- The curriculum vitae is updated.
- The qualification copies are certified.
- The identity document copy is certified.
- Certification is no older than three months.
- The qualification matches one of the two advertised fields.
- There is no previous SETA- or government-funded internship that makes the applicant ineligible.
Completing these checks beforehand can help applicants avoid preventable submission problems.

Final Thoughts
The Capricorn TVET College Work Integrated Learning Programme 2026 creates an important workplace pathway for former students who completed Marketing Management N6 or Electrical Engineering N6 and still need relevant practical exposure.
Successful candidates will spend 18 months gaining workplace experience while receiving a R3,800 monthly stipend through the MICT SETA-funded programme.
However, eligibility is quite specific. Applicants must be former Capricorn TVET College students in one of the two advertised fields and should not have previously participated in or completed a SETA- or government-funded internship.
With applications closing on 14 August 2026, qualifying graduates should prepare their signed application letter, curriculum vitae and recently certified supporting documents early enough to hand-deliver a complete application.
