Government & Public Learnerships
Gauteng Provincial Government Learnerships
I also share information about learnership programmes offered by the Gauteng Provincial Government. These programmes are usually available in areas such as administration, library services, and other public support roles.
Who Can Apply
- Unemployed South African youth between the ages of 18 and 35
- While matric is often required, some support roles may consider applicants based on skills and experience
General Requirements
- South African ID (certified copy)
- Updated CV
- Qualifications (if available – matric is an advantage)
- Completed Z83 application form
Tip: From my experience and research, government learnerships usually require Grade 12. However, I always encourage applicants to ask in person, as some administrative or support programmes may accept candidates based on skills and experience.
Typical Learnership Requirements
Although requirements differ from one programme to another, most learnerships require the following:
- South African citizenship with a valid ID
- Currently unemployed
- Basic reading, writing, and numeracy skills
- Good communication skills
- Willingness to commit to training, usually for 12 months
Some programmes may also require:
- Matric (Grade 12)
- Basic computer skills
- Specific age limits, commonly 18–35
If you do not have matric, I recommend asking providers about Grade 10–11 learnerships, TLO learnerships, or programmes that offer recognised NQF qualifications without matric.
How to Apply
To apply for learnerships, I advise preparing the following documents:
- Certified copy of your ID
- Updated CV
- Highest school report or certificate (including Grade 10 or 11)
- Proof of unemployment, if available
Once ready, you can contact or visit the training providers listed above to ask about current vacancies, or submit applications at the government drop-off points provided.
