Experiential Learning

Key competencies attained during the Experiential Learning component are:

• Developing skills related to their field of study
• Enabling students to apply theoretical knowledge in practical work situations
• Inculcating a professional work ethic
• Exposing students to specific functions undertaken by the Department

The placements of students are generally for a period prescribed by the tertiary institutions and vary between 3-12 months. Students are paid a monthly allowance based on their NQF-levels. They participate in an induction process initially and are then placed with a supervisor/mentor on site.

Student Support

Regular meetings are held with the bursary students during the academic year to ensure they are coping with their course work. Students get guidance on to deal with the challenges they face on campuses and they are introduced to mechanisms, such as student counselling, that could help them. Interactive student sessions help students establish a good support base they can use on their campuses.
