The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) frequently releases Work Integrated Learning (WIL) and internship opportunities instead of standard structural learnerships.
A critical detail to keep in mind is that SASSA does not have a direct “Apply Online” web portal for these programmes. Beware of websites prompting you to fill out form fields or pay a fee on unofficial sites. Genuine SASSA applications require you to submit documents via email or hand-delivery/post directly to the specified regional office.
Here is the current status of the 2026 opportunities and how you can apply.

⚠️ Scam Alert: SASSA will never ask you to pay any money to apply for a learnership, internship, or job. Official communication regarding your application will always come from an email ending in
@sassa.gov.za. Always cross-reference open vacancies directly on the official SASSA website or the DPSA (Department of Public Service and Administration) circulars.
