SAFCOL: Apprenticeship Programme 2021 / 2022

Applications are invited from unemployed youth who wish to pursue a career as an Artisan.  The suitable candidates will be granted an opportunity to be enrolled at a recognised Training Centre for a period of three years.  They will also be required to undergo workplace training at our sawmill Timbadola near Louise Trichardt (Makhado).

Opportunities are available in the following trades:

• Fitter & Turner
• Millwright
• Electrical
• Diesel Mechanic (Motor trade)
• Boiler Making

Requirements:

• Must be South African Citizen
• Must be an unemployed youth between 19 to 35 years old
• Must have passed/completed grade 12 (not a prerequisite but recommended)
• Must have a minimum of N2 or Level 3 Technical Vocational, Education & Training (TVET) certificate with the relevant trade theory

NB. Learners will receive a monthly stipend for the duration of the apprenticeship. On successful completion of the occupational knowledge, practical and workplace learning, the Skills Development Act requires that apprentices undergo a final summative assessment (Trade test) to be certified as a qualified artisan.
