APPLY FOR A LEARNERSHIP

IMPLEMENT A PROGRAMME

WHAT IS A LEARNERSHIP?

It is a multi-structured learning platform, where a learner has the opportunity to take the theory gained in the classroom and implement it in the workplace. This combination of qualification and work experience acquired by the learner enhances their opportunity for successful employment.

Learnerships lead to a qualification registered on the National Qualifications Framework.

Such a qualification is designed to provide not only technical and work-specific skills but life skills such as communication and teamwork. Before the programme is implemented, a contract is drawn up by the employer, the learner, and an accredited skills development training provider, such as MSC Corporate Academy.
