Fasset Bursaries and Learnerships Applications

Fasset Bursaries and Learnerships Applications: Fasset’s main objective is to facilitate skills development, transformation and social upliftment in the sector in pursuance of NSDS Targets Fasset funds programmes that meet specific criteria in this regard, by utilising unclaimed grant money. Fasset’s Board earmarks, on an annual basis, areas of high skills need within the sector, based on the Sector Skills Plan and other research. Strategic project interventions are identified and public tenders are advertised annually in this regard. All new projects are approved by the Board procurement Committee (BPC). All Bridging Programmes are geared towards addressing the poor demographic profile within the sector, and all are therefore in line with the NSDS targets. All tenders are advertised on the Fasset Tender Notices page, in the Government Gazette, the National Treasury ePortal and on the government tender board website[quads id=”1″]

Fasset TVET Work Based Experience Project

The Department of Higher Education and Training has identified the need to capacitate public TVET Colleges, to become the preferred providers of occupational skills, as relevant, in South Africa. This need was identified to, amongst others, address the high unemployment rate amongst the age group 16 – 34.
It is assumed that work experience will enhance the employability of unemployed persons, in particular if such work experience is:

  • Related to and supports their field of study;
  • Obtained in an environment with processes and structures in place to coach and mentor such persons;
  • Obtained in the environment of a reputable employer;
  • Of an adequate length to allow sufficient time to gain exposure and experience in a number of generic and specific skills.

In this context, Fasset is implementing a project aimed at facilitating and funding workplace-based experience for graduates. This project is aimed at learners who have successfully completed the National N6 certificate in business studies and who are eligible to the National N Diploma at NQF level 6, upon completion of 18 months’ relevant work experience.
Fasset will be recruiting learners who have specialised in one of the following areas:

  • Financial Management,
  • Business Management,
  • Marketing Management,
  • HR Management, and
  • Management Assistant.
