Grade 10, 11 or 12 and ready to take the first step toward your career? A new learnership opportunity is open to young people who are eager to learn, committed to starting immediately, and looking for practical workplace experience. No prior work experience is required, making this an ideal chance for school learners who want to gain skills, earn a stipend, and improve their future job prospects.
What the learnership offers
This programme focuses on helping learners transition from the classroom to the workplace. Participants will receive structured training, on-the-job coaching, and exposure to real business environments. The learnership is designed to equip young people with practical skills relevant to various entry-level roles, while also helping them build confidence, discipline, and professional habits employers value.
Who can apply
The opportunity is open to Grade 10–12 learners. Organisers welcome applications from all backgrounds and strongly encourage people with disabilities to apply. Indicating any disability in the application will be appreciated and helps ensure reasonable accommodations during training and placement. The programme values diversity and inclusion, aiming to give everyone a fair chance to succeed.
No experience required — start immediately
One of the main advantages of this learnership is that no prior work experience is necessary. If you are willing to start immediately and ready to commit to the training schedule, you are eligible to apply. This removes the barrier many young people face when trying to get their first structured work experience. The emphasis is on potential, motivation, and a willingness to learn.
How to prepare your application
Before applying, make sure you have the following: your full name, contact details, current grade level, and a brief statement explaining why you want to join the learnership. If you have any special needs or require accommodations, include that information as well. Keep your application honest and concise, highlighting your eagerness to learn and any relevant school activities or volunteer work.
Why this matters
Learnerships provide a bridge between education and employment. They offer practical training, mentorship, and a chance to build a CV. For young people in Grades 10–12, securing a learnership can open doors to further training, permanent employment, or additional learnerships. For those who need support to enter the job market, this opportunity is a valuable starting point.
