Dear Mr Ndlovu
Organizations seeking to recruit people for learnerships often make use of the Department of Labour’s database, it is therefore suggested that unemployed people over the age of 16 years and under the age of 35 years should register as “work-seekers” at the nearest office of the Department of Labour. For a general overview of learnerships consult the Department of Labour website http://www.labour.gov.za/documents/useful-documents/skills-development/ and access the following guides:
• A learnership guide for unemployed people
• Sector Education and Training Authorities (SETAs)
• Registered learnerships by SETA
We suggest you also contact the following SETAs to find out what learnerships or apprenticeships they have registered, and which companies are offering learnerships or apprenticeship opportunities:
• Financial and Accounting Services Sector Education and Training Authority
• Insurance Sector Education and Training Authority
• Public Service Sector Education and Training Authority
Learnerships are also advertised in newspapers from time-to-time by Sector Education and Training Authorities (SETAs), their member organizations or public education institutions and registered training providers.
