Learnerships – A guide for unemployed people
1. What is a learnership?
A learnership is a work-based learning programme that leads to a nationally recognized qualification that is directly related to an occupation, for example, an accountant, construction worker, health care worker, IT technician, or motor mechanic. Learnerships combine a structured learning component with practical work experience that is acquired while being employed in a company, government department, or small business. Learners in learnerships have to attend classes at a college or training center to complete the classroom-based learning, and they also have to complete on-the-job training in a workplace. This means that unemployed people can only participate in a learnership if there is an employer that is prepared to provide the required work experience.
2. Which unemployed people can apply to do a learnership?
Learnerships are available for young people who are just leaving school, college, or other training institutions after completing some formal education, and for 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
3. How much will it cost?
People entering a learnership do not have to pay anything for the programme.
4. Will you be paid anything during the learnership?
All unemployed people selected for a learnership programme will be paid a learner allowance by the employer. The allowance is not a salary but is intended to cover the cost of expenses like travel and meals you will have to pay for because you are in the learnership.
5. How much will a learner earn?
Learner’s allowance:
i) An employer must pay a learner an allowance calculated in terms of clause 3 of Sectoral Determination No. 5: Learnerships
ii) A learner’s allowance must be calculated as a percentage of the qualified wage in accordance with column 3 in Table A
iii) No learner may be paid less than the applicable allowance specified in Table A.
The precise amount of the learner allowance depends on the type of learnership and the level of the qualification. The Minister of Labour has specified the minimum amount that employers must pay as an allowance to unemployed learners in learnerships. The allowances and conditions are agreed upon with each learner before the commencement of the learnership. The learner allowances set by the Minister are indicated in the table below. The NQF level in the table indicates the level of qualification that successful learners will get at the end of the learnership. For example, a Grade 12 certificate is on NQF level4 and a degree, such as a Bachelor’s Degree at a university, is on level 6. The number of credits gives an indication of the duration of the programme. Most of the learnerships are about 120 credits, and if you successfully complete such a learnership you will be awarded 120 credits on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF).
