Merseta Learnerships for Engineering and Manufacturing 2023-2024

Merseta is only one of the known 21 sectors, of training and education departments, which was established to develop, and promote talented candidates in skills training for scarce skills through Merseta Learnerships.

Candidates are asked to register with the Department of Labour, as unemployed individuals, seeking a learnership. Candidates can do this via the link provided under the application process. Candidates must ensure their contact details are kept up to date and that they are always accessible via these methods of contact. Candidates who have registered may be contacted when an appropriate learnership becomes available if candidates adhere to all requirements.

Most of these learnerships will be for a duration of 12 to 24 months. Learners will also receive a monthly stipend, however, these do not usually include transport, meals, and accommodation. A learnership is not a guarantee of a permanent position once completed, this will be the employer’s choice. Candidates will, however, be better equipped to enter the workforce once they have completed a learnership.
