This curriculum framework was developed between October 2017 and March 2019 through a collaborative process that included academics from universities, technical and vocational education and training (TVET) colleges, community education and training colleges (CETCs) and individuals representing adult and community education and training concerns, and the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) officials. The development took place under the auspices of the Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) for Lecturers Development Project, a project of the DHET’s Teaching and Learning Development Capacity Improvement Programme’s (TLDCIP) College Lecturer Education Project (CLEP), which was funded by the European Union.

The curriculum framework has been developed to support providers when implementing the industry/workplace-based WIL component of the TVET lecturer qualifications.
