SayPro Request for Extension of the 12-Month MICTSETA Tvet Placement Programme for Diepsloot Youth Project

On behalf of the Diepsloot Youth Project, we wish to express our sincere gratitude to MICT SETA for the support and partnership in implementing the 12-Month TVET Placement Programme. This initiative has proven to be instrumental in equipping our youth with valuable practical experience and increasing their employability within the Marketing Management and related sectors.

We are writing to formally request the continuation and extension of the current programme duration. Based on the outcomes observed so far, the additional time will allow the learners to:

• Deepen their practical experience in workplace environments,
• Complete industry-relevant projects and certifications, and
• Enhance their readiness for long-term employment or entrepreneurial opportunities.

We therefore request that the current 12-month TVET Placement Programme be extended by:

1. An additional 6 months, making the total placement period 18 months; and
2. A further optional 6 months, to allow for transitional exit support, mentorship, or placement into permanent roles or incubation where possible.

This extension will ensure that learners are better prepared, organisations receive meaningful contributions from the participants, and the intended long-term impact of the programme is fully realised.

We are committed to fulfilling all administrative and operational obligations associated with this extension, including progress reporting, learner support, and compliance with MICT SETA regulations.

We look forward to your positive consideration of this request and remain available to provide any additional information or documentation required.

Thank you once again for your ongoing support in empowering the youth of Diepsloot.

Yours sincerely,
Puluko Nkiwane
Diepsloot Youth Project
