Closing date: 31 July 2023.
Role description
The uNowanga programme helps unemployed, disadvantaged South African youth to become nurses in Germany within four years.
Shortlisted candidates will become a part of a rigorous 4-year programme that starts in South Africa. The first year in South Africa focuses on preparing the employees for their potential German apprenticeship. In this year they will need to complete a German course at the Goethe-Institut to a B2 level (Business German), as they will be studying and living in German institutions. Additionally, the employees will need to do care work at The German Senior Residence and at Park Care Homes in order to improve their geriatric nursing skills. They do receive a stipend for their work from the sponsors of the uNowanga Programme and are fully fledged employees of The Order of St John.
Once they have successfully completed the language course, the participants will start their training in Germany. They will join a 3-year programme that is equally divided between on-the-job training and classroom training. In Germany this training is called “Ausbildung” which translates to “apprenticeship”. The apprenticeship in Germany will be paid for by the institution that they are accepted at. After the successful completion of the “Ausbildung”, the participants will have the opportunity to return home to South Africa or remain in Germany.
For the first year in South Africa, there will be a monthly stipend of R4500.
