Details of Eskom Learnership Programme. Applications are invited for Eskom learnership programme. Interested candidates are to follow the procedures below and submit their application

Eskom Learnerships are offered to school-leavers and unemployed individuals from different communities. An Eskom learnership form part of the government’s National Skills Development Strategy to create skills and ease poverty and unemployment. It is also part of Eskom’s human resource development (HRD) strategy to enhance the quality of training, education, and development amongst South Africa’s youth. You can also take a look at our other HR Learnerships.

Eskom achieves this via various academic and skills development programmes, including learnerships. The majority of these programmes target beneficiaries from previously disadvantaged communities. Eskom’s target is to maintain the learner baseline at 12% of the personnel complement.

Leading in innovating energy resource in South Africa, Eskom tries to make sure South Africa has equal electricity source all over the country. Currently, Eskom still provide 93% of South Africa electricity while the others are handled by other parties or not handled at all. That is to say, Eskom still has time to develop and it makes this company worthy to be selected. For those who want to contribute to its development, there are several Eskom learnerships that can be applied. That way, it is possible to know several things related to the way Eskom works in managing resource – particularly electricity – in South Africa.

Fields in Eskom Learnerships

Eskom Learnerships are not available every time, and there is a strict deadline related to application. It makes sense because Eskom only needs a few competent people who are able to work in specialized subject. By limiting people who can join the competition within Eskom, it is also easier to filter competent people who are interested in developing electricity infrastructure. There are learnerships at Eskom recommended for fresh graduate for 2015 – 2016 period. There are several candidates needed – still below 20 though – for filling some positions in the company. They are fields available for this purpose: mechanical, Riggers, and Instrument Mechanical.
