Aramex is recruiting unemployed Matric graduates for a 14‑month, fixed‑term learnership in Business Administration (NQF Level 4). The role is advertised as “Learner” and is designed to combine workplace experience with structured learning toward a nationally recognised qualification.
Purpose of the role
This learnership targets young, unemployed South Africans who want to start a career in office and business support within a large logistics company. Learners will be exposed to real administration tasks while completing the NQF Level 4 Business Administration curriculum, building both practical skills and a formal credential.
The position is not a permanent job; it is a 14‑month learnership contract intended to improve employability and provide a strong foundation for future roles in administration, customer service, or operations support.
Key responsibilities (typical for this learnership)
While the advert focuses on eligibility and behaviours, learners in this type of programme generally:
Assist with day‑to‑day administrative tasks such as filing, data entry, and document control.
Support teams with scheduling, meeting coordination, and basic report preparation.
Handle incoming and outgoing communications (emails, calls, basic correspondence).
Learn and apply company policies, procedures, and basic compliance requirements.
Participate in structured training, assessments, and workplace projects linked to the NQF Level 4 qualification.
Exact duties will depend on the department and supervisor, but the emphasis is on learning while contributing to real work.
Requirements and eligibility
To qualify, you must meet all of the following:
Matric (Grade 12) with a minimum 45% pass rate in all language subjects.
Be currently unemployed (this is an unemployed learnership).
Have a clear criminal record.
Be available for the full 14‑month fixed‑term learnership.
If you are a person with a disability, you must provide an original medical certificate.
No prior work experience, specific Matric subjects (beyond the language requirement), or driver’s licence is stated as mandatory.
Leadership behaviours and skills expected
Aramex highlights a set of leadership behaviours and skills that learners should demonstrate or develop:
Building outstanding teams, setting clear direction, and simplifying work.
Collaborating across teams and breaking down silos.
Strong execution and accountability in daily tasks.
A growth mindset, openness to innovation, and focus on inclusion.
Professional responsibility and an external (customer) focus.
These are used both for selection and for ongoing development during the learnership.
