Successful applicants will receive practical workplace training and develop the skills required to become qualified Millwrights in accordance with relevant SETA requirements.

How to Apply for the CWI Apprenticeship Programme 2027

Application email: [email protected]
Email subject provided in the advert:
Apprenticeship Intake 2026 for 2027 @ Electrical apprenticeship program
Attach your updated CV, relevant certificates, academic records and supporting qualifications.
Important: The advertised opportunities are for Millwright Apprenticeships, but the supplied email subject refers to an Electrical Apprenticeship Programme and a 2026 intake. Applicants should confirm the correct subject line with CWI before sending their applications to avoid confusion.
Thabang Maimela’s Tip
Before applying, check that your N2–N6 or NCV Level 4 documents include the relevant engineering subjects listed in the advert. Attach your academic records as well as your certificates so that the recruitment team can assess your qualifications.
Pay particular attention to the email subject line. Since the advert is for Millwright Apprenticeships but the supplied subject refers to an Electrical Apprenticeship, confirming the correct wording with CWI is a sensible step before submitting your application.
