Learnerships in engineering are not commonly open to students that have only just completed grade 12. Most require at least some college, university or trade/technical school course completion before an application can be processed for a learnership.
A learnership is a training program that merges theory and training together to give an individual a real taste of working in a field while simultaneously providing practical training and study in that field. These kinds of learning opportunities are commonly made available through colleges, training centers, and universities across the UK.
Companies in the UK establish learnerships and then enter into agreements with particular trade schools and universities to offer these programs to students. Some learnerships are open to students in any college, trade school or university. Others are open to the general public as well, allowing unemployed individuals to learn a new trade or career through a learnership program.
Getting a learnership in some fields is easily achieved simply through putting in an application with the unemployment office. Getting a learnership in a specialized field, like engineering, often requires a student being admitted to an engineering degree program with a college or university first. After being admitted to the degree program, you would be eligible to apply for a learnership, but usually only after a year or two at university.
Many learnerships require at least some post-secondary education before granting admittance to the learnership program. Unemployed individuals who have completed some university courses but were not awarded a degree may be eligible with only a grade 12 certificate and documentation of their completed university coursework.
University students who are in the middle of their degree program in engineering can also usually get a learnership without much difficulty. The university can assist in this process and you can also apply for open learnerships, as well.
