Learnerships 2025: Opportunity Knocks for South Africa’s Unemployed Youth

Tsebo Facilities Solutions Learnerships 2025 are now open! Learn how to apply, what’s required, and why this is a career-changing opportunity.

Introduction – More Than Just a Job: A Gateway to Professional Growth

In a country where youth unemployment remains one of the highest globally, structured workplace training isn’t just helpful – it’s urgent. That’s why Tsebo Facilities Solutions is once again offering its highly sought-after Learnership Programme for 2025, designed specifically to give unemployed young South Africans the tools, experience, and qualifications needed to compete in today’s job market.

But this year’s intake isn’t business as usual. The 2025 learnership opens doors into the often-overlooked but fast-growing Facilities Management sector, equipping participants with both technical know-how and business etiquette. If you’ve been waiting for a stepping stone that leads to real-world skills, national certificates, and possibly permanent employment, this may be your sign.

This post covers everything you need to know about the 2025 Tsebo Learnerships – eligibility, benefits, how to apply, and why this program is different from others.

Who Is Tsebo Facilities Solutions?

Tsebo Solutions Group is one of Africa’s leading integrated workplace management companies. With a presence in over 20 African countries, they specialize in:

  • Facilities Management
  • Catering and Cleaning Services
  • Hygiene and Pest Control
  • Energy and Environmental Solutions
  • Business Process Outsourcing

Tsebo’s approach to people development isn’t just about filling vacancies – it’s about building long-term capacity and creating pipelines of young professionals who can thrive in operations, administration, and site-level service delivery.

What Makes the 2025 Learnership Special?

Unlike internships that may or may not lead to real jobs, learnerships are formally recognised by the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) and include:

  • A 12-month fixed-term contract
  • A stipend (usually R3,500 – R5,000/month)
  • Formal learning modules aligned with NQF Level 3 or 4
  • On-site practical training in real-world facilities environments
  • A nationally recognised certificate upon completion

But here’s what makes the 2025 intake stand out:

It targets youth who are not currently studying or working, focusing on NEETs (Not in Education, Employment or Training).

It’s aligned with the scarce-skills list for services management, giving graduates an edge in multiple industries.

It incorporates a digital readiness component, helping participants master the tools of the modern workplace – email, MS Office, and work-related mobile apps.

What You’ll Learn During the Programme

Depending on your placement and performance, you’ll be exposed to skills and modules such as:

  • Customer Service Excellence
  • Basic Facilities Maintenance
  • Hygiene and Cleaning Practices
  • Health and Safety Compliance
  • Workplace Communication and Reporting
  • Time Management and Teamwork
  • Computer Literacy and Data Entry

You’ll be working in real Tsebo client sites – office parks, malls, hospitals, or factories – under the guidance of experienced supervisors and HR support.

Real-Life Impact: Not Just a Certificate

We spoke to two previous learners (fictionalised for this post but based on real trends):

Thabo, 25, Limpopo: “I didn’t know anything about facilities. But after 12 months, I was promoted to team leader. I’m now applying for a supervisor role.”

Nokuthula, 23, Gauteng: “I used to clean informal houses for cash. Now I work at a client hospital full-time, with medical aid and benefits. Tsebo changed everything.”

These aren’t exceptions – they are exactly what the learnership is designed to produce.
