Accredited Learnerships
A Learnership is a vocational education and training programme that links structured learning and work experience in order to obtain a registered qualification. It combines theory and workplace practice into a qualification that is registered on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF).
Learnerships are practical with on-the-job training and mentoring. Under the guidance of an experienced and qualified mentor, candidates learn the demands of an occupation in real time.
Learnerships are outcomes-based programmes, the learner's success will be dependent on whether he/she can practically apply the knowledge and skills learned. Assessments are conducted throughout the process, and all candidates are assessed against occupational standards that have been agreed upon by industry stakeholders.
We are committed to developing people with the competencies required to enhance their careers and become instrumental participants in sustaining the company’s competitive advantage.

The Employee Tax Incentive
The ETI is an incentive aimed at encouraging employers to hire young work seekers.
It was implemented with effect from 1 January 2014. Millions of young South Africans are excluded from participating in economic activity and, as a result, suffer disproportionately from unemployment, discouragement, and economic marginalisation. High youth unemployment means young people are not gaining the skills or experience needed to drive the economy forward. This lack of skills can have long-term adverse effects on the economy.
In South Africa, the current lack of skills and experience, as well as perceptions regarding the restrictiveness of labour regulations, make some prospective employers reluctant to hire the youth.
As a South African employer, you now have a great opportunity to boost the employment of young work seekers while benefiting your business.
Companies are encouraged to double their existing B-BBEE training budgets from 3% to 6% of payroll, of which 2.5% should be towards bursaries.
Skills development is now a priority element with a 25-point weighting, including 5 bonus points. To avoid dropping a level in BEE status, a company must achieve a minimum of 40%, or 8 points, of the target set out in the skills development scorecard, excluding bonus points.
Benefits of a learnership
- Increase your B-BBEE scores
- Provide an effective means of obtaining the maximum number of skills development points on your B-BBEE scorecard
- Claim back on your skills development spend
- Recover annual discretionary grants from the Skills Development Levies you pay to SARS
- Grow your people in line with your business strategy
- Help your employees leapfrog insufficient qualifications and a lack of experience, leading to positive strategic outcomes
- Develop a strong talent pipeline
- Ensure that your business is empowered by a relevant skills base over the long term
- Invest in the future of the economy
- Effect lasting change by helping previously disadvantaged individuals get a step closer to gaining the skills and experience needed to drive the economy forward.
