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.

Our Commitment

We prepare every learner to transition from the classroom to the workplace with confidence, competence, and purpose. Our work placement model is designed to:

  • Strengthen employability and workplace readiness.

  • Offer exposure to real-world tools, systems, and expectations.

  • Build networks and mentorship relationships within the artisan ecosystem.
