Learnerships & Internships
Internships & Leanerships
At Help A Child South Africa, we take great pride in our Internship and Learnership program. Our mission is to provide young individuals with the opportunity to gain real work experience in a supportive environment, while increasing their chances of permanent absorption into the workforce.
When it comes to our Internship and Learnership program, we go above and beyond to ensure that candidates are placed within vetted small and medium-sized businesses. We have a rigorous selection process in place, where we carefully match candidates with businesses that align with their skills, interests, and career goals.
Once candidates are placed, we provide them with ongoing support throughout their internship or learnership journey. We understand that starting a new job can be daunting, especially for young individuals who may not have much prior work experience. That’s why our team is always there to offer guidance, mentorship, and assistance whenever needed. We believe in creating a nurturing environment where beneficiaries can thrive and grow professionally.
During their time with the businesses, beneficiaries gain invaluable real work experience. They have the opportunity to apply the knowledge they’ve acquired through their education in a practical setting. This hands-on experience allows them to develop crucial skills that employers value, such as problem-solving, teamwork, communication, and time management.
Moreover, being placed within small and medium-sized businesses offers beneficiaries a unique advantage. Unlike larger corporations where interns may be limited to observing or performing menial tasks, our candidates are given meaningful responsibilities from day one. They are entrusted with tasks that contribute directly to the success of the business. This level of involvement allows them to truly understand the inner workings of a company and make a tangible impact.
One of the key benefits of our programmes is the high chance of permanent absorption into the workforce. By placing candidates within vetted businesses, we ensure that they are exposed to potential job opportunities. Many of our beneficiaries have successfully secured permanent positions within the companies they interned or trained with.
Overall, Help A Child South Africa’s fully managed Internship and Learnership Program provides young individuals with the opportunity to gain real work experience in a supportive environment. We believe in empowering our beneficiaries by providing them with the skills, knowledge, and confidence they need to pursue a successful career. Through our partnerships with small and medium-sized businesses, we are proud to contribute to the growth and development of both our beneficiaries and the local economy.
