We at LetabaFET College understands that South-Africa with its different sectors needs employers and employees with above-average skills and that is why our programmes are intended to directly respond to the priority skills demands of the Limpopo as well as South African economy.

Work exposure for Letaba FET College students.
Everyday South African employers are challenged with a shortage of enough qualified and experienced employees. Students at FET colleges are good future source of such employees. These students can be tried for free by companies and at the same time help to develop their skills by offering them a short period of work experience or exposure.
As Work Placement Coordinators our assignment is to place students who registered for National Certificates (Vocational), National Diplomas with employers for a period of Workplace-Based Experience (WBE) which could be in the form of job shadowing or In-service training.
Our goal is to place students and lecturers without industry exposure for between five to ten days consecutive days in each year of study for job shadowing and 18 months for In-service training for the National Diploma courses.
During the placements, employers are asked to orientate students to their companies and allow them to work alongside employees doing jobs related to the students’ field of study. These students will also be monitored by their lecturers and college coordinators. Logbooks will be completed to assist them to have track records of their experience.
For many young people who will obtain this kind of experience it will be life transforming to them. They will be able to develop a better understanding of their chosen career and how it is practised in the workplace.
This will motivate them to study harder and succeed in their studies. Many of them will want to forge relationship with employers that will lead them to secure immediate job offers after graduation.
Employers will benefit too. Students are source of future employees that you get to know before hiring. By hosting students, employers get a chance to influence the training that the college provides and slant it more towards the needs of their industries. Employers can also get points on their company’s BBEE scorecard.
Should a company be willing to host two or more of our students we would gladly assist by facilitating the placement process.
Job shadowing placement for National Certificate (Vocational) occurs during June/July vacation period. In service work placement for National Diploma students are scheduled for July and December.
These experiential training are aligned with the department of Higher Education and Training requirements.
There is no financial or compensation expected from the host employer. The only cost of the host is their supervision time during their time in the company.
We hope that more companies will join us in this important exercise. Companies are invited to contact us to explore how placing our students can grow their business and bottom line.
