South African companies are being encouraged from all sides to run Learnership progammes at their premises. These Learnerships allow young people to gain valuable workplace experience, and at the same time work towards a recognised qualification.
Because Learnerships start whenever the company is ready, there isn't a standard start date like there is with university and college courses. So Learnerships can start at any time in the year. The most common Learnership programme will be 1-year long, but it is also possible for them to run for longer, like 2-years.
One company that manages the Learnership process for companies is Skills Development Corporation. They also match the employers with suitable candidates to take part in the programme. Learnerships are more likely to be successful, for both employers and the young people on them, when the candidates are well-suited to the specific Learnership.
If you aren't working or studying at the moment then a Learnership programme could be the answer for you. You can register now with SDC and give them your personal details. Then when a suitable Learnership is being launched they will match you with the company running it.
HOW TO APPLY
