Work Integrated Learning & Work Placement Support
At ICONNECT CORE Artisan College, we believe that training is only the beginning. That’s why our Work Placement Programme is built into the heart of every qualification. Our mission is to empower artisans with both technical mastery and on-the-job experience, preparing them for meaningful careers across various industries.
