Applicants are invited to apply for the Seta Accredited Learnership Programme 2026
A meaningful opportunity is now open for young South Africans living with disabilities who are looking to gain valuable skills, workplace experience, and a pathway into employment. This learnership initiative is designed to support unemployed youth by preparing them for future career opportunities through structured training and real-world exposure.
While registration does not guarantee immediate placement, it provides candidates with a valuable chance to be considered for upcoming learnership programmes. By joining the candidate database, applicants position themselves to be contacted when suitable opportunities become available.
This initiative is ideal for individuals who are eager to grow, develop professionally, and take the first step toward building a sustainable career.
This programme focuses on empowering youth living with disabilities by providing access to training and practical work experience. Learnerships combine theoretical learning with on-the-job training, allowing participants to develop both technical and workplace skills.
Successful candidates who are selected for future placements will benefit from structured development programmes that are designed to improve employability and prepare them for long-term career success.
The programme aims to bridge the gap between education and employment by equipping participants with the tools and confidence needed to succeed in a professional environment.
To be considered for this opportunity, applicants must meet the following criteria:
Candidates must be South African citizens between the ages of 18 and 28. A minimum of Grade 11 is required, ensuring that applicants have a basic educational foundation.
Applicants must currently be unemployed and not enrolled in any form of study. This ensures that the opportunity is directed toward individuals who are actively seeking entry into the workforce.
A key requirement is that applicants must be living with a disability. Valid medical proof confirming the disability will be required as part of the application process.
Candidates who are successfully placed into a learnership programme will gain access to several valuable benefits that support both personal and professional development.
Participants will receive structured training combined with real work experience, allowing them to apply what they learn in a practical environment. This combination is essential for building confidence and competence in the workplace.
A monthly stipend will be provided to support participants financially during the programme. While the primary focus is on skills development, this financial support helps ease the burden of daily expenses.
Participants will also gain valuable workplace skills, including communication, teamwork, time management, and problem-solving abilities. These skills are essential for success in any career.
In addition, completing a learnership significantly improves future career opportunities. Many employers value candidates who have completed learnership programmes, as it demonstrates both practical experience and commitment to personal growth.
Once you submit your application, it will go through a screening and verification process to ensure that all requirements are met. This step is important to confirm eligibility and maintain the integrity of the programme.
If your application is successful, your details will be added to the candidate database. This database is used to match candidates with suitable learnership opportunities as they become available.
When a relevant opportunity arises, shortlisted candidates will be contacted for the next steps. This may include interviews, further assessments, or placement processes depending on the specific programme.
It is important to note that this is not an immediate placement opportunity, but rather a registration process that increases your chances of being selected for future learnerships.

A detailed and updated CV that outlines your personal information, education, and any relevant experience.
