False Bay TVET College is advertising five graduate internship opportunities linked to ETDP SETA funding. The 24-month placements are aimed at unemployed South African graduates and offer stipends of R6,000 or R7,500 per month, depending on the position.
What changed from the previous intake?
The publicly indexed 2025/2027 False Bay TVET College and ETDP SETA intake had stipends of R3,500 to R6,500 and included areas such as administration, inclusive education, wellness, e-learning and marketing. The 2026 advert supplied for this article lists five posts focused on Student Support Services and the Open Learning Centre. The highest advertised stipend has increased from R6,500 to R7,500, while the application email has also changed. These are observable differences between the adverts, rather than a claim that the College has formally described them as programme changes. (community information desk)

What does the original advert say?
The advert lists three groups of internships.
Two NQF Level 7 Student Support Services positions are available with a R7,500 monthly stipend. Possible locations are Mitchell’s Plain Campus or Khayelitsha Campus.
Two NQF Level 6 Student Support Services positions are available with a R6,000 monthly stipend. These are associated with Westlake or Muizenberg Campus.
One NQF Level 6 Open Learning Centre position is available at Fish Hoek Campus, also with a R6,000 monthly stipend.
The internship period is 24 months, and the advert states that workplace exposure will be aligned with the graduate’s qualification and field of study. Successful candidates must be available to commence immediately.
Who can apply?
The confirmed requirements include South African citizenship, unemployment at the time of application, no criminal record and computer literacy, including Microsoft Office proficiency.
For the NQF Level 7 positions, the advert requires a SAQA-recognised Bachelor’s Degree at NQF Level 7 in fields including Psychology, Applied Social Science, Social Sciences, Community Development or counselling-related fields.
The NQF Level 6 Student Support Services positions list areas including Psychology, Applied Psychology, Behavioural Sciences, Social Sciences, Community Development, Youth Development, Social Work and related fields.
For the Open Learning Centre position, preference is given to NQF Level 6 qualifications in Library and Information Studies, Information and Communications Technology or Information Technology.
Confirmed requirements vs assumptions
Applicants should not assume that a similar qualification automatically qualifies them. The advert uses specific NQF levels and fields, so applicants should check their actual qualification carefully.
The wording “preference will be given” for the Open Learning Centre should also not be changed into an absolute statement that every other qualification is excluded. The final decision rests with the recruiting institution.
Applicants should also avoid assuming that the internship guarantees permanent employment, accommodation, transport or a job after completion.
Is the closing date confirmed?
Yes. The advert clearly states 24 August 2026 as the closing date.
It also states that applicants who have not been contacted within 60 days of the closing date should regard their applications as unsuccessful.
Is the stipend confirmed?
Yes. The amounts are explicitly stated in the advert:
- NQF Level 7 Student Support Services: R7,500 per month

Where is the programme located?
Depending on the position, placements are at Mitchell’s Plain, Khayelitsha, Westlake, Muizenberg or Fish Hoek campuses.
