The Work Integrated Learning (WIL) Programme is designed to give TVET N6 students practical workplace exposure so they can complete the practical component required for their qualification.
Many Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programmes require students to complete a period of workplace training before they can obtain their National Diploma. This programme provides the opportunity to gain that experience while working in a professional environment.
Through this initiative, the National Treasury aims to:
• Provide hands-on workplace training
• Help students combine theoretical knowledge with practical work experience
• Improve work readiness and employability
• Develop professional competence
• Prepare young graduates for the South African job market
Participants will work alongside experienced professionals and gain insight into how government financial and administrative systems operate.

Candidates must have completed the theoretical component of their N6 qualification and require practical workplace experience to obtain their diploma.
