A learnership is, in a nutshell, on the job training in the classroom. It combines theory at a college or training center with relevant practice on-the-job. Employers can offer learnerships to their own employees or can recruit unemployed people for training. So, it really opens up a wide range of opportunity for employers to higher people and for job seekers.
