How to Apply
For Work Integrated Learning, your application is slightly different from a standard job application. You must provide:
- Institution Letter: An official letter from your University or TVET College confirming that you require WIL to complete your qualification.
- Academic Transcript: A record of your completed modules to date.
- Updated CV: A clear summary of your education and any previous part-time work or volunteer experience.
- Certified ID: A valid copy of your South African Identity Document.
Advice for Students: Making the Most of WIL
- The “Logbook” Priority: Your primary goal is to graduate. Ensure you share your institution’s logbook with your supervisor on day one so they can assign you tasks that satisfy your academic requirements.
- Retail is Fast-Paced: Whether you are in IT or Marketing, the retail environment moves quickly. Show that you are proactive and willing to assist outside of your specific department during peak shopping times.
- Network Internally: Use this 12–18 month period to build relationships. Many WIL students are offered permanent roles within the company once they officially graduate.
