Are you an unemployed young South African looking to start a career in retail? The Building Company W&RSETA Learnerships 2026 offer a great chance to gain real-world skills and experience. This program targets youth who want hands-on training in store operations.
About the Learnership
The Building Company runs this W&RSETA Learnership Programme for unemployed South Africans. It focuses on the retail sector, where you learn through classroom sessions and on-the-job work. Successful applicants get theoretical training from a provider and practical duties in stores. The program helps build skills for future jobs in retail.
Key Responsibilities
If selected, you will handle several tasks to grow your skills. First, attend all training sessions run by the provider. You must complete assessments, assignments, and a Portfolio of Evidence to meet W&RSETA standards.
In the workplace, expect duties like helping customers, setting up merchandise, restocking shelves, and aiding at the point of sale. Keep the store clean and follow all company rules and safety guidelines. Track your progress in a logbook, show up on time, and work with mentors for support.
Requirements to Qualify
Not everyone can apply, so check these basics first. You need to be a South African citizen due to funding rules. Be unemployed and open to a W&RSETA learnership, with at least a Grade 12 qualification.
Show basic math and reading skills, have no criminal record, and be ready for retail shifts that include weekends or holidays. You cannot have done another unemployed learnership before.
