How can we help you

Learnerships

"The workplace can teach a wealth of skills that just aren’t found in textbooks. It’s why we facilitate the placement and accreditation of Learnership programmes that provide the necessary skills and knowledge relevant for today’s Safety and Security sector. Learnerships also provide the perfect opportunity for employers to upskill their workforce and find fresh talent that makes a tangible impact on their businesses."
