2026 Learnerships: Earn While You Learn

About this opportunity

Finding a way into the South African job market can be difficult without the right combination of skills and experience. LearnEX is currently addressing this challenge by opening applications for their 2026 learnership programs. These opportunities are specifically designed for unemployed South Africans who have completed their Matric and are looking to gain a national qualification while working. A learnership is a unique opportunity because it allows you to learn the theory of a job while actually doing the work. This “earn while you learn” model provides a monthly stipend to cover your basic costs, such as transport, while you spend 12 months building a professional profile.
