City of Johannesburg (CoJ) Learnership – 2026
The learnership programme is a programme that provides unemployed youth from the Johannesburg community with both theoretical and practical training on their chosen learnership. This initiative is in support of the objectives of the Skills Development Act (1998) of making workplaces active learning environments for employees and the unemployed.
A learnership programme has two components: theory (classroom-based) and practical (workplace-based) learning components. On-going assessments are a critical part of the implementation process, whereby learners’ progress is evaluated against the relevant unit standards. On successful completion of a learnership programme, learners acquire a nationally recognised qualification registered on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF).
The learnership uses a fully integrated approach that combines theory with practical training and leads to a recognised qualification or certification.
Important Notice: The City of Johannesburg and all its departments do not charge any application fees for jobs or learnership opportunities. All legitimate recruitment occurs exclusively through the official careers portal at https://careers.joburg.org.za/. Any request for payment is a scam. All official communication from the City comes from email addresses ending in @joburg.org.za only.
