The Institution has developed an extensive national database of corporate employers that are currently providing work integrated placements for learners. A database of over 850 companies that have provided Work Integrated Learning(WIL) for learners. Work Integrated Learning has increased the rate of employability of learners.
The Work Readiness Programme (WRP) complements the theoretical knowledge with contextualised, well structured authentic learning in the work environment. WRP addresses areas not included in Work Integrated Learning i.e. WRP complements WIL. From 2011 the Institution implemented a compulsory Work Readiness Programme consisting of life skills, soft skills and employment skills which would bridge the gap between life at college and work. The Institution’s intervention of WIL and WRP makes a positive contribution to the standard of graduates to the corporate world as endorsed by many employers during the employer surveys.
