Too many capable people stay on the sidelines because they don’t have a matric certificate. Ithuba CSG’s Learning Program is changing that. Designed for unemployed South Africans with Grade 9 or above, these learnerships offer hands-on training, real workplace experience, and a pathway to sustainable employment — no matric required.

Why this matters

Unemployment hits young people hardest, and many promising candidates are excluded from job opportunities simply because they don’t meet formal qualification requirements. Ithuba CSG recognises skills, potential, and determination. Their learnerships focus on practical skills that employers need now, from basic administration and retail operations to entry-level technical roles. Participants gain marketable abilities, build confidence, and earn a recognised certificate upon completion.

What you’ll get

Structured training: A clear curriculum that balances classroom learning with practical tasks.

Workplace exposure: On-the-job experience to strengthen your CV and teach professional habits employers value.

Mentorship and support: Trainers and supervisors who guide you through the program and help you prepare for interviews and future work.

A certificate: Formal recognition that improves your chances in the job market.

Who can apply

Ithuba CSG’s learnerships are open to unemployed South Africans with at least Grade 9. This inclusive entry requirement widens access for people who have the motivation to learn and grow but missed out on completing matric. Whether you’re a recent school leaver, someone who left school early, or a parent returning to the workforce, this is a real chance to restart your career.
