Learnerships
Learnerships are created with the job market in mind. In other words, if there are any skills shortages within the economy, learnerships can be created to train this skill. Learnerships must therefore address skills shortages and contribute towards creating jobs and resolving the unemployment crisis.Three key features make up any learnership.
Structured learning which is theoretical and usually takes place within a classroom environment.
Practical work experience of a speci?c type and duration within a workplace or simulated work environment.
Lead to NQF qualification related to an occupation (See below)
Any person – either employed or unemployed - can participate in a learnership. If employed, you can register for a learnership through your company or within the sector that your company operates in. If you are unemployed, you may register for placement at a local labour centre or through employers in your area. The Department of Labour Labour Centres are responsible for registering the unemployed and placing them in learnerships if they meet the minimum requirements.
Learners do not have to pay for the learnership and the unemployed are given an allowance / stipend principally to cover the costs of the transport and food to the venue.There are a number of different advantages for those participating in learnerships:
They provide a way for learners to get a qualification while working full time;
Work experience forms an integral part of the learnership. The unemployed and school leavers can benefit from the work experience and use this opportunity to network for jobs within the sector.
These are not time based and if a learner is able to gain a credit within a shorter period of time, they can get the certificates to show that they are competent.
Accredited training providers must provide the training on a learnership for it to be recognised by employers. As it is a structured programme, the workplace component will need to be inspected to see whether the employer can provide the necessary workplace support.Learnerships normally take up to a year to complete. The learner is assessed throughout by a qualified assessor and the SETA moderates this intervention. If the learner is found to be competent, a National Qualification will be awarded to the learner.
