Transnet, one of South Africa’s largest state-owned companies, continues to invest in youth development and employment creation through its Non-Technical Work Integrated Learnership Programme. This initiative is designed to equip unemployed South African youth with practical workplace exposure and skills that will enhance their chances of securing long-term employment in both public and private sectors.
About the Programme
The Non-Technical Work Integrated Learnership Programme focuses on providing opportunities in administrative and support functions rather than technical or engineering fields. It is part of Transnet’s broader commitment to fostering inclusive growth and empowering young people to contribute meaningfully to the economy.
