Learnerships in Gauteng 2026: Requirements and How to Apply
Young South Africans looking for workplace training and practical experience can find a range of learnership listings in Gauteng. An Indeed search page reviewed on 14 September 2026 shows multiple opportunities, including a MAZIV Gauteng Learnership Programme, an IT learnership in Johannesburg and a Business Administration learnership listing.
However, applicants should pay close attention to the requirements of each individual programme. The search term includes “Grade 9”, but the MAZIV learnership currently displayed on the page requires applicants to have completed Grade 12. Therefore, Grade 9 should not be treated as a general qualification for the learnerships shown.
This guide explains the verified information currently available and highlights what applicants should check before submitting an application.

About the Opportunity
The MAZIV Gauteng Learnership Programme combines theoretical learning with practical workplace experience. The listing says participants receive workplace experience as well as coaching and mentorship, with career growth and job prospects identified as programme benefits. It also states that the programme provides a 12-month stipend, although the actual amount is not disclosed in the information available on the page.
MAZIV describes itself as a South African digital infrastructure group involved in broadband and connectivity businesses. The learnership is therefore particularly relevant to candidates interested in gaining workplace exposure within a technology and connectivity-focused organisation.
Who Can Apply?
According to the MAZIV listing, applicants must:
- Be South African citizens.
- Be between 18 and 35 years old.
- Have completed Grade 12.
- Currently be unemployed.
- Live in Gauteng.
- Not be studying full-time or part-time.
- Be available for the complete 12-month programme.
- Not currently or previously have been enrolled in a learnership programme.
Important: The Indeed search page contains “Grade 9” in its search query, but the featured MAZIV opportunity explicitly requires Grade 12. Applicants should therefore not assume that Grade 9 is sufficient for this programme.
Requirements
The verified MAZIV requirements are:
- Completed Grade 12.
- Currently unemployed.
- South African citizenship.
- Age between 18 and 35.
- Resident in Gauteng.
- Not studying full-time or part-time.
- Available for the full 12-month duration.
- No current or previous learnership enrolment.
Stipend/Salary
Stipend: Not disclosed in the available listing.
The advertisement confirms that the programme includes a 12-month stipend, but it does not state the rand amount. Youthscope should therefore not publish an estimated monthly figure.
Duration
Duration: 12 months.
Applicants must be available for the full duration of the programme.
Location
Location: Gauteng, South Africa.
The listing specifically states that applicants must be living in Gauteng.
Documents Required
The MAZIV listing identifies these documents:
- Certified copy of South African ID
- Certified copy of Matric certificate
- Updated CV clearly showing the applicant’s home/physical address
The advert also warns that incomplete applications or unclear documents will not be considered.
Youthscope should not add a driver’s licence, proof of residence, academic transcript or other documents as compulsory requirements, because they are not listed in the available information.
How to Apply
The listing indicates that applicants apply through the company site after accessing the opportunity through Indeed.
Applicants should:
- Open the MAZIV Gauteng Learnership Programme listing.
- Read the eligibility requirements carefully.
- Prepare the ID, Matric certificate and updated CV.
- Make sure all documents are clear and readable.
- Follow the employer’s application process.
- Submit the application using the application method provided by the employer.
Application source: the available listing directs applicants to apply on the company site.
Closing Date
Closing Date: Not specified in the available listing.
Applicants should check the current employer application page before applying because a search-results page does not establish a closing date.
Important Things to Know Before Applying
The most important point for applicants searching for “Grade 9 learnerships” is that qualification requirements differ between programmes.
The MAZIV opportunity currently shown requires Grade 12. Other learnerships appearing in Gauteng search results may have completely different requirements. For example, the same search results currently show a software development learnership requiring a diploma or degree in Data Analytics.
Before applying:
- Check the qualification requirement for the specific opportunity.
- Do not assume a Grade 9 search result means Grade 9 is accepted.
- Make sure your documents are clear.
- Ensure your CV contains your physical/home address where requested.
- Check whether you meet the age and employment-status requirements.
- Use the employer’s specified application process.
- Avoid submitting personal information through unofficial application pages.
Who Should Consider This Opportunity?
The MAZIV programme may be worth considering for unemployed Gauteng residents aged 18–35 who have completed Grade 12 and meet the other stated conditions.
It may particularly interest applicants looking for structured workplace exposure, practical experience, coaching and mentorship within a digital infrastructure and connectivity environment.
Final Thoughts
The current Gauteng learnership listings show that opportunities are available, but applicants need to check each programme’s actual eligibility criteria rather than relying on a search phrase such as “Grade 9 learnerships.”
For the MAZIV Gauteng Learnership Programme, the verified minimum qualification is Grade 12, together with the other requirements listed above. The programme lasts 12 months and includes a stipend, although the amount is not disclosed in the available listing.
The closing date is also not specified in the information currently available, so applicants should verify the employer’s application page before submitting their documents.
