Early Childhood Development

Learnerships are available to all young, unemployed and school leavers as well as to employees sponsored by companies supporting their employees to further their qualifications.

In most cases companies will act as a host employer for groups sourced by themselves in a trade of their choice. An example could be a company in the motor industry supporting an Auto Repair and Maintenance learnership.

For placement in a learnership, a prospective candidate will have to contact the Department of Labour/labour centre closer to candidate or should be on the look-out for learnership opportunities in the media.

If learners meet the entry requirements determined by the qualification as well as the selection criteria by their host employer a partnership contract will be signed between the relevant Seta, the host employer, Training provider (TSC) and the learner. The host employer is obliged to provide their learners a stipend for the duration of the programme as well as protective clothing.
