Absa’s Employability Programmes, in partnership with Bankseta, is offering learnerships to unemployed school leavers and graduates.

Candidates applying for the Letsema Learnership must be younger than 30, unemployed with a valid Matric certificate and no criminal and credit record.

The unemployed graduates applying for the Kuyasa Learnership must also be under 30, with a B-degree or a three-year tertiary qualification in one of the following fields:
• Human Resources
• Risk Management
• Information Technology
• Marketing
• Financial Accounting
• Financial Management
Recruitment for the above programmes is being handled by Kelly and application forms are available on their website, www.kelly.co.za, as well as on our Employability Programmes site. The closing date for applications is 31 August 2013

We invite you to extend this call to your friends, family members or neighbours who have passed Grade 12, or unemployed graduates to apply for this potentially life changing opportunity, targeting 425 participants.

The 2014 intake follows the successful onboarding of 425 (175 matriculants and 250 graduates) learners on the Bankseta Letsema/Kuyasa learnership in February and another 295 (146 matriculants and 149 graduates) on the Bank Technician Programme in June 2013.

Through our investment in learnerships, we are developing skills for the South African workforce, while actively supporting workplace learning. We are also improving the long term prospects for previously disadvantaged persons while developing a talent pipeline for our organisation.
