Finding a way into the South African job market can be difficult without the right combination of skills and experience. Learn EX 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.

Learn EX has categorized their programs into specific streams to help you choose a path that fits your interests. Each stream is registered with the relevant SETA and offers a specific NQF level.
