The GCC Skills Development Agriculture and Landscaping Learnership 2026 is recruiting unemployed young South Africans aged 18 to 28 who live in Gauteng and have an agriculture qualification, relevant agricultural experience or a landscaping background.
The opportunity offers participants the chance to strengthen their practical workplace skills while receiving a stipend of up to R4,500 per month. The programme is aimed at applicants who already have some connection to agriculture, gardening, landscaping or related outdoor work.
The available recruitment information does not specify a closing date, programme duration or a particular qualification that participants will receive. Eligible candidates should therefore prepare their documents and apply while the opportunity remains active.

Programme: Agriculture and Landscaping Learnership 2026
Opportunity Type: Learnership
Location: Gauteng
Target Group: Unemployed young South Africans
Age: 18–28 years
Employment Status: Unemployed
Programme Duration: Not specified

Requirements
Applicants should meet the following requirements:
- Be a South African citizen.
- Be currently unemployed.
- Be between 18 and 28 years old.
- Live in Gauteng.
- Have an agriculture qualification or relevant agricultural experience, or
- Have a background in landscaping.
- Meet the target-group requirements stated in the recruitment notice.
- Be able to participate in the required training and workplace activities.
The available advert does not clearly state a specific Grade 11, Grade 12 or NQF entry requirement for this particular opportunity.
Applicants should therefore not assume that Matric alone qualifies them. The agriculture, agricultural-experience or landscaping requirement is particularly important.
What Agriculture or Landscaping Experience Could Help?
Candidates do not necessarily need years of formal employment to demonstrate relevant practical experience.
Genuine experience may include:
- Gardening
- Plant care
- Crop production
- Soil preparation
- Irrigation or watering
- Farm maintenance
- Grounds maintenance
- Landscaping
- Outdoor maintenance
- Working with agricultural tools or equipment
- Community gardening or growing projects
Applicants should describe what they actually did rather than simply writing “agriculture experience” on their CV.
For example, someone who helped maintain gardens, worked on a farm or participated in an agricultural project should explain the specific responsibilities they performed.
Salary / Stipend
Stipend: Up to R4,500 per month.
The phrase “up to R4,500” is important because it does not necessarily mean every participant will receive a guaranteed flat R4,500 every month.
Applicants should confirm the exact stipend amount and payment conditions with GCC Skills Development if they progress through the recruitment process.
The available advertisement also does not state whether transport, meals or other expenses are provided separately.
What Will Learners Gain?
The programme is designed for candidates who already have some exposure to agriculture or landscaping and want to strengthen their practical workplace skills.
Participants may develop or improve skills involving:
- Plant and garden maintenance
- Agricultural activities
- Landscaping
- Grounds maintenance
- Safe outdoor work
- Following workplace instructions
- Teamwork
- Time management
- Workplace communication
- General maintenance
- Reliability and attendance
However, the current recruitment information does not publish a detailed curriculum or identify a specific qualification.
Applicants should therefore avoid assuming that the programme leads to a particular NQF qualification unless GCC confirms this.
Why Is Practical Experience Important?
Agriculture and landscaping are hands-on fields. Employers may expect workers to understand how to work outdoors, follow instructions, use equipment safely and complete practical tasks consistently.
Applicants should therefore make their relevant experience easy for recruiters to identify.
For example, instead of writing:
Agriculture experience
A stronger CV could accurately explain:
Assisted with plant maintenance, garden preparation, watering and general grounds maintenance.
Only include experience that you have genuinely gained.
Documents Needed
Candidates should prepare the following documents:
- Updated CV
- Certified copy of South African ID
- Bank confirmation letter
- Tax clearance certificate
- Copy of highest qualification
- Agriculture qualification documents, where applicable
- Relevant information demonstrating agriculture or landscaping experience
Applicants should ensure that documents are clear, current and readable before submitting them.
Because bank and tax-related documents contain sensitive financial information, applicants should verify the recruitment details and intended recipient before emailing them.
Why Is a Tax Clearance Certificate Required?
The recruitment information specifically lists a tax clearance certificate among the required documents.
This is less common in some entry-level learnership applications, so candidates who are unsure about the exact document required should confirm the requirement with GCC Skills Development before submitting unnecessary personal information.
How to Apply
- Prepare your updated CV.
- Obtain a certified copy of your South African ID.
- Prepare your bank confirmation letter.
- Prepare the requested tax clearance certificate.
- Include a copy of your highest qualification.
- Make sure your agriculture or landscaping experience is clearly explained in your CV.
- Check that all documents are clear and readable.
- Create an email with a clear subject line, such as Agriculture and Landscaping Learnership 2026.
- Attach all required documents.
- Send your application to placements@gcc-sd.com.

Before sending your application, carefully check that your contact details are correct.

When Does the Learnership Close?

The available recruitment information does not provide a specific closing date.
Applicants who meet the requirements should therefore avoid waiting for a deadline to be announced. Recruitment opportunities can close when suitable candidates have been identified or when available places have been filled.

Candidates who are shortlisted should confirm the expected programme duration, attendance requirements, workplace arrangements and training schedule before accepting an opportunity.
Expert Guidance
Career expert YouthScope Editorial Team advises:
Applicants should make their agriculture or landscaping background immediately visible on their CV. If you have worked with plants, gardens, farms, irrigation, grounds maintenance or outdoor projects, describe the actual tasks you performed.
Prepare all required documents before submitting your application and check that your banking and tax documents meet the stated requirements.
Because there is no published closing date, eligible applicants should apply promptly rather than waiting for an unofficial deadline.
Always verify the recruitment email address and organisation details before sending sensitive personal or financial documents, and keep a copy of your application for your records.
