Work Integrated Learning
University of Technology
Our Work Integrated Learning (WIL) programmes are designed to allow participants to complete the practical WIL component of their studies, paving a clear and dedicated path to obtaining their National Diploma qualification.
The WIL programmes consist of a Workshop Based Training and Experiential Training programme, which provides workshop training, experiential training, and on the job experience. These programmes are adapted to the requirements of University of Technology (UoT) qualifications, as well as the participant’s area of specialisation.
Workshop Based Training participants are trained on specific workshop skills in a range of disciplines and assessed on their ability to implement such skills before qualifying to progress to Experiential Training. During Experiential Training, participants conduct the planning and implementation of engineering projects from start to finish, thereby integrating knowledge and skills developed during Workshop Based Training, and academic studies, into comprehensive and complete solutions.
Our Workshop Based Training and Experiential Training programmes run as per the following, however, we do adapt and customise programmes to client requirements, without compromising the core outcomes as required by Universities of Technology.
Work Integrated Learning Programmes:
Whether you require Workshop Based Training and Experiential Training or only Experiential Training, we have the right solution for you. If you are not sure where to start contact us today.
The 24 week P1 workshop based training programme follows one of two tracks, depending on the area of specialisation of the student, although both tracks provide exposure to the same subjects, they focus on certain areas related to their discipline of specialisation.
- For Electrical Engineering students the programme is follows:
- Electrical workshop (6 weeks)
- Electronics workshop (6 weeks)
- Automation/ Instrumentation workshop (6 weeks)
- Carpentry workshop (2 weeks)
- Fitting & Turning workshop (2 weeks)
- Boilermaking and Welding workshop (2 weeks)
- For Electrical Engineering students the programme is follows:
- For Mechanical Engineering students the programme is follows:
- Carpentry workshop (6 weeks)
- Fitting & Turning workshop (6 weeks)
- Boilermaking & Welding workshop (6 weeks)
- Electrical workshop (2 weeks)
- Electronics workshop (2 weeks)
- Automation/ Instrumentation workshop (2 weeks)
The 24 week P2 experiential training programme follows one of four tracks depending on the area of specialisation of the student, where projects are focussed around specific subjects related to the area of specialisation.
WIL P2: Project-Based Work Integrated Learning
- Duration: 24 Weeks
- Target Group: Engineering diploma students from Universities of Technology
- Mode: Fully project-based | ECSA-aligned | Two flexible pathways
What Is WIL P2 at Resolution Circle?
Our WIL P2 programme offers hands-on, project-driven learning experience that helps final-year engineering students complete their required experiential learning. Whether placed with host companies or trained internally in our workshops, students gain the technical, professional, and soft skills needed to enter the workplace confidently.
Two Completion Pathways
- Host Company placement: Learners are placed with industry partners to gain real-world experience on active projects, with full support and monitoring from Resolution Circle.
- Internal Project-Based Programme: Students who aren’t placed externally complete discipline-specific engineering projects in a simulated work environment, mentored by experienced professionals.
Technical Project Life Cycle Phases
All projects follow a structured 8-step life cycle:
- Research
- Proposal
- Design
- Procurement
- Assembly
- Documentation
- Closing
- Oral Presentation
Soft Skills Training
Learners are also trained in:
- Communication & teamwork
- Professional report writing
- Time & task management
- Ethics & workplace behavior
Deliverables & Assessment
- Students must submit:
- Monthly progress reports
- A final engineering report
- Oral presentation
- Signed-off logbook with mentor feedback
