Be Competitive About Your Learnership Interview

Before a learnership interview, you should

- Research the company. Find out as much information as you can about them to decide why you want this opportunity there.
- Prepare answers to common learnership interview questions.

- Greet the interviewer with a smile and a firm handshake
- Show enthusiasm and a positive attitude
- Listen carefully to the questions being asked and answer them clearly and concisely
- Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the learnership program and the company

Learnerships are Valuable Experiences
A candidate enrolled on a learnership can earn a qualification without paying for it, while in the workplace. It’s a great opportunity and for many, it’s the only opportunity some will ever have to study and become qualified while gaining extremely valuable work experience.
A qualification earned on a learnership is recognised in the industry and is based on international standards that are relevant to South Africa. Learnerships provide great opportunities for the employed and unemployed alike. If you are employed and under 35 years old, speak to your boss about being registered on a learnership. Many companies are actively encouraging employees to become learners as it’s a dynamic way to earn BEE points and access tax rebates.
Learnerships are a great investment for a company and you would be showing them that you are focused on a future where you do more and do better.
