The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) plays a crucial role in providing social assistance and support to vulnerable individuals and communities in South Africa. While SASSA primarily focuses on administering social grants, from time to time they also offers learnerships to empower individuals with the skills needed to secure sustainable employment.
The social grants that Sassa is responsible for include the R350 Social Relief of Distress grant, the Childcare grant, older persons grant, and many others.
Learnership programmes aim to address unemployment and poverty by equipping learners with valuable knowledge and practical experience. These learnerships are typically offered in areas such as administration, finance, human resources, and community development. By participating in these programs, individuals can enhance their employability, gain industry-relevant skills, and contribute to their personal and professional growth.
SASSA may advertise learnership opportunities on its official website or through careersportal.co.za Once a learnership is announced, candidates are required to meet specific criteria, including educational qualifications, age restrictions, and other relevant prerequisites.
Applicants are typically required to submit their CVs, certified copies of their qualifications, and a completed application form. The selection process may involve interviews, assessments, and background checks. Successful candidates will then embark on a structured learnership program, where they will receive both theoretical classroom training and practical on-the-job experience.
You will find information on all currently available Learnerships in the Careers Portal Learnerships section.
