The programme provides participants with an opportunity to gain workplace experience and practise relevant work skills that can assist them when pursuing future career opportunities.

Successful candidates will enter into a fixed-term Learnership agreement with the company. The agreement is a learning arrangement and should not be confused with a permanent employment contract.
