Majuba TVET College, in partnership with CATHSSETA and the Hospitality and Tourism Sector, a leader in vocational and technical training in KwaZulu-Natal, is empowering Hospitality students through its dynamic 18 Months Work Integrated Learning (WIL) Programme. This initiative is more than just an internship — it’s a structured opportunity that fuses theoretical knowledge with real-world industry experience, equipping students with the skills and confidence needed to thrive in South Africa’s vibrant hospitality and tourism sectors.

What Is the Hospitality WIL Programme?

The Work Integrated Learning Programme in Hospitality at Majuba TVET College is tailored for students who have completed or are close to completing their National Certificate (Vocational) or N6 Certificate in Hospitality. Through this programme, students are placed in real hospitality establishments such as hotels, resorts, restaurants, and guest houses, where they gain hands-on experience in areas like:

• Food preparation and culinary arts
• Housekeeping and room service operations
• Front office reception and customer service
• Event coordination and catering management

MINIMUM CRITERIA AND TARGETED PROGRAMMES:

• Hospitality N6
• Applicants must be South African
• Be unemployed and not currently in any Education or Training Programme or have being part of a WIL Programme before
• At least 90% of students below the age of 35 years
• Students with Special Needs are encouraged to apply
• Students who are currently on WIL Database must re-apply
• Students who are currently at the workplace within the last 3 months without a stipend are encouraged to apply
• Be willing to relocate to host employers across KZN or other Provinces

Why Is This Programme Important?

The hospitality industry is one of South Africa’s key economic drivers, yet many graduates struggle to enter the job market due to a lack of practical experience. Majuba’s WIL Programme addresses this gap by providing relevant, supervised industry placements that meet national curriculum standards. Students not only sharpen their technical abilities but also develop soft skills such as communication, teamwork, and problem-solving.

APPLICATION PROCESS:

Applicants need to submit:

• A CV (not more than 2 pages)
• Certified Copy of ID
• N6 Academic Results (NOT N6 Certificate)
• Letter from Host Employer if student is already at the Workplace
• Shortlisted candidates will be subjected to an Interview Process

Hand delivered applications will also be accepted at the WIL Office situated at Newcastle Training Centre

Only students who have studied at Majuba TVET College will be considered.

Others use the experience to launch careers abroad or start entrepreneurial ventures in catering or accommodation services. The WIL initiative is not just a requirement for certification — it’s a powerful launchpad into a competitive industry.
