Department of Home Affairs Learnerships

The Department of Home Affairs Learnerships are part of the Governments’ National Skills Development Strategy Act. This includes the growth of high-value opportunities, employment growth, skills development in all sectors, and social development along with assisting the youth to become part of the labour force in South Africa.

Successful candidates will have great access to mentors and trainers, explore the wealth of information made available, grow, and become professionals in various fields. This department makes learnerships available in all provinces throughout South Africa, offering equal opportunities to all the youth. The learnerships will vary in duration and only include a monthly stipend for successful candidates.

They seek talented, young candidates who are interested to fill the scarce skills within South Africa. Candidates will be able to build up their knowledge, gain invaluable experience and learn from the best.
