Mopani TVET College is inviting qualifying N6 graduates to apply for its In-Service Training Programme 2026. This valuable opportunity is designed to help graduates obtain the practical workplace experience required to complete their National Diplomas.

Many TVET College graduates successfully complete their N6 qualifications but are unable to graduate with a National Diploma because they still need practical industry experience. The Mopani TVET College In-Service Training Programme seeks to bridge this gap by providing structured workplace exposure in relevant fields of study.

The programme will run for a period of 18 months and is open to eligible candidates between the ages of 18 and 35. Preference will be given to graduates who completed their studies at Mopani TVET College.

This initiative presents an excellent opportunity for young South Africans to gain practical skills, improve employability, and build professional experience in their chosen career fields.
