Important: Lekwa Residents Only

One of the most important conditions attached to these Limited Skills Programmes is the Lekwa residency requirement.

According to the supplied programme information, only Lekwa residents will be considered.

Applicants should therefore ensure that their supporting documentation accurately reflects their residential status.

The municipal utility bill and owner’s ID information requested as part of the supporting documentation may be particularly important for verifying residency.

Why Apply for These Skills Programmes?

Skills development can provide an opportunity to gain practical knowledge in an area of interest without immediately committing to a longer qualification.

The Gert Sibande TVET College programmes cover several different fields, allowing eligible applicants to consider options that match their interests.

The available areas include:

CCTV camera installation
Drone operation
Early childhood development
Furniture making

For unemployed youth and other eligible Lekwa residents, practical skills training can be a useful addition to existing qualifications and may help them explore further education, self-employment or future employment opportunities.

However, applicants should understand that completing a skills programme does not automatically guarantee employment.

Closing Date

Closing Date: 31 August 2026

Eligible applicants should submit their applications before the closing date.

Late or incomplete applications may not be considered, so applicants are encouraged to prepare their documents early rather than waiting until the final day.
