Who Qualifies For Learnerships

Learnerships are available for young people who are just leaving school, college or other training institutions after completing some formal education, and for other people who have been unemployed for some time. People entering a learnership must be at least 16 years old and younger than 35 years. The Department of Labour has set the following targets for learners entering learnerships: 85% should be Black, 54% should be women and 4% should be people with disabilities.
