Bankseta Learnerships

One of BANKSETA’s corporate strategies is that of youth development. The BANKSETA offers various vocational education and training programmes to bridge the gap between structured learning and work experience in the banking and inclusive banking industry. The BANKSETA has partnered with various institutions of higher learning and the banking sector to facilitate theory and workplace practice into qualifications that are registered on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF).

Learnerships have been identified as one of the best vehicles to build skills for both the employed and unemployed based on the unique feature that a learnership is an occupationally-based learning program that combines structured theory and practical experience and leads to a registered qualification by the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA). Apprenticeships emphasize practical work exposure and are linked to specific occupations to ensure relevance and sustainability.
