If you want skills + experience that can launch a real career, the SAFCOL (South African Forestry Company) training programmes for 2026 offer structured pathways from beginner training to graduate internships in forestry and related fields.

What Opportunities SAFCOL Offers

SAFCOL’s development programmes include a mix of learnerships, graduate internships, apprenticeships, and skills training. These help youth and graduates build real skills and improve their job prospects.

Learnership Programmes (Youth Skills Training)

SAFCOL offers several accredited learnerships that combine theory and practical training in forestry skills.

2026 Learnership Programmes include:

  • Mechanised Harvesting (NQF Level 3) – training for modern forestry equipment and operations
  • Silviculture (NQF Level 3) – training in tree cultivation, nursery work, and forest management

These programmes run for about 10–12 months and include classroom instruction and field work, giving you hands‑on experience in forestry. 

Most learnerships also include:

  • Monthly stipends to support learners
  • Practical training with industry tools and equipment
