The Esinam Graduate Placement Programme (EGPP)
Esinam has been able to train, and place hundreds of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) graduates over the past years, recently reaching new heights by training and placing over 300 learners in 2021.


We noticed a very opportune gap for the placement of TVET graduates. Small businesses are not yet in the position to hire permanent staff, as the Covid pandemic, floods and economy has negatively affected

their income. However, this does not take away the fact that they still need workers in order to operate at optimal level and the business to grow. We at Esinam strategically place TVET students with companies relevant to their fields of study. The businesses are small enough to train the student in all facets of the business, whilst not being strained with salaries, assisting the students complete their in-service requirement and gain valuable work experience.

Our job does not end at placing the graduates but also manages their learning experience whilst they work. The reason being, we want to ensure that the small business does very well whilst the graduates are there and grows to such an extent that the entrepreneur absorbs the graduate, as they are now familiar with that particular business.

Where graduates are not absorbed, we offer them additional skills, including entrepreneurial skills, where we teach them to start a business with the skills they’ve acquired. So, they in turn may become the employers, creating jobs and paying forward the opportunity once given to them. This approach then becomes a win-win situation for all parties involved.

If we look at various methods of facilitation, technology is part of many students’ experiences, regardless of their field of specialisation. Prior to business placement, the youth/graduates undergo our work readiness, accredited project management and technical skills training, for a period of three months. The aim of this training is to build relevant digital acumen and confidence in youth and cement programme confidence in host employers that we place multi- skilled and work ready candidates.

The digital inclusion portion of our work readiness programme aims to benefit the TVET graduate in a sense that they will be in possession of multi-skills, which are in demand. As such, they are likely to survive the scourge of unemployment. This programme assists them in becoming creative and innovative when thinking of starting their own businesses. Students need to be involved in technology especially as the world embraces the fourth industrial revolution.

The inclusion of TVET tradesmen graduates in digitalised societies will bring about an understanding that we live in a world of inter-related systems. This approach will ensure that there a connection between the different industries as well as an awareness of the correlations and synergies in place.

We go one further in our range of interventions and host upskilling workshops for lecturers. Lecturers have a great influence on young minds. They are their first point of contact for knowledge acquisition and young people often hold them in very high esteem. It is essential that they understand the modern world of business and that they are able to manage the expectations of future employees or needs of young entrepreneurs.

We also have frequent upskilling programmes for learners and host employers, which are offered separately. The objective being to uncover the gaps that exist in these relationships and seek to mitigate any hindrances to progress and future employment.
