What is a Learnership?

A learnership is a work-based learning programme that leads to a nationally recognized qualification. It combines theoretical training with practical workplace experience, providing learners with both knowledge and skills.

Learnerships are managed by SETAs (Sector Education and Training Authorities) and are designed to address skills shortages in various industries while providing employment opportunities for South African youth and unemployed individuals.

Participants receive a monthly stipend during the programme, which typically lasts between 12-24 months depending on the qualification level.
