FASSET 18-Month Paid Work-Based Experience Programme for TVET N6 Learners 2026

FASSET is offering an 18-month paid Work-Based Experience Programme for TVET N6 learners in 2026. Gain required workplace exposure, earn a monthly stipend, and complete your qualification.

The Finance and Accounting Services Sector Education and Training Authority (FASSET) has officially opened applications for its 18-month Paid Work-Based Experience (WBE) Programme for 2026, aimed specifically at TVET College learners who have completed their N6 theory component.

This programme is a critical step for N6 graduates who need structured workplace exposure in order to complete their qualification and move forward in their careers. Unlike general internships, this Work-Based Experience programme is directly linked to qualification completion and provides paid, supervised, and structured workplace training.

The programme runs for 18 months and is non-renewable, meaning participants are expected to complete their workplace requirements within the allocated period.
