2023 Learnerships: 2023 Learnership applications
A learnership refers to a learning program that includes a structured learning component offered by a training institution along with practical workplace experience. The learner is employed in a government department, company, or business in such programmes. Through a learnership, learners not only get qualifications but also get first-hand work experience, which increases their employability.
A learnership is a work-based learning programme that leads to an NQF-registered qualification. Learnerships are directly related to an occupation or field of work, for example, electrical engineering, hairdressing, or project management.
Learnership programmes can help you to gain the necessary skills and workplace experience that will open up better employment or self-employment opportunities.
Learnerships are based on a legally binding agreement between an employer, a learner, and a Training Provider. This agreement is intended to spell out the tasks and duties of the employer, the learner, and the Training Provider. It is designed to ensure the quality of the training and to protect the interests of each party.
