Bursaries
This will enable Fasset to partner with public providers from
Universities and Universities of Technology registered with DHET to
ensure that learners are fully bursared in order to obtain formal
qualifications that will ultimately enhance their chances of securing
learnerships, internships or full time employment in the broader
economy including in the Fasset sector.
Fasset is currently in the process of establishing the parameters to
issue bursaries to the “Missing Middle” as from January 2017 and is
working with Universities and Universities of Technology registered
with DHET to finalise.
Financial support for learners in the sector with student loans: #NSFAS Loan Repayment Grant
This enables Fasset to identify young learners who have already
completed a qualification aligned to scarce skills within the sector
and are being hampered in achieving their full potential due to the
financial burden that they are carrying.
The outcome of this intervention is that learners will be relieved of
their financial burden, will be able to complete their learnerships
without having to change jobs just for higher salaries to pay off
their loans AND re-inject additional funding into the NSFAS pool which
will enable additional learners to have access to full time study
opportunities. In other words this intervention will have a double
benefit to the post schooling system in that the Fasset sector will be
able to access learners who are not as financially burdened as they
were previously whilst also offering opportunities to new learners who
are seeking to enter the higher education and training area who are
financially constrained.
