Technical Education
in Schools
The Sasol Technical and Vocational Education
Training (TVET) Bursary Programme was
established as a commercial contract
between Sasol and Eskom and it aimed at
building a pool of skilled graduates in STEMI.
In return addressing the country’s critical
skills shortage and contributing to solving
the country’s energy challenges.
The objective of the programme is to award bursaries
annually to deserving students over a five year period
(2022-2026). Students are placed near Eskom power
stations in Mpumalanga and Free State provinces in
the fields of chemical and electrical engineering.

The students are further afforded an opportunity
of a graduate trainee 12-months work experience
at a Sasol facility and introduced to renewables
technologies.
▪ In 2022, 28 students fulfilled the requirements
and were contracted for studies. Of the 28
students, 15 have completed their N6 and have
recently started their graduate trainee work in
Sasolburg and Secunda operations respectively.
▪ In 2023, 31 students were provided with bursaries
at Flavius Mareka, Gert Sibande and Nkangala
TVET colleges and are in their second trimester
of studies.
Tertiary Education
Sasol partnered with the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DRME) to assist the department in
its broader youth outreach programmes. This partnership included career expos, learner focus weeks and the
awarding of bursaries in the 2022 academic year.
Three students are in their second year of Engineering degrees. This support provides youth in underserved
communities access to higher education and enables them to be part of a future fit work force.
