CADET LEARNERSHIP PROGRAMME – Benoni

Cadet Learnership Programme in collaboration with PSETA (12 Month Contract) Applications are invited from unemployed youth who have obtained a Grade 12 or NQF4 equivalent qualification for the 2026/27 Cadet Learnership Programme that will run for a 12 Month contract period. This is a Youth Development Empowerment initiative that supports the National Development Plan’s idea of formalized recruitment schemes that through theoretical training and experiential learning, afford unemployed youth of South Africa the opportunity to gain skills, knowledge and experience whilst at the same time, positioning themselves for active and meaningful participation in the labour market. The Cadet Learnership Programme compromises of both theoretical and practical components aimed at training on the National Certificate: Immigration Services which exposes learners to the core business of the Department (Immigration Services). Preference will be given to youth who reside within close proximity of the office where the post is based.
