What Does the Learnership Offer?
According to the vacancy information, the purpose of the programme is to provide learning opportunities in the Private Security Industry to unemployed South Africans.
A learnership combines theoretical learning with practical workplace experience. Successful candidates will therefore have the opportunity to develop knowledge and practical skills while gaining exposure to the security industry.
The qualification is intended to prepare learners to operate as Security Officers by providing the knowledge, practical skills and workplace-based experience required for the role.
This can make the opportunity particularly relevant to young job seekers who are interested in security but have not yet entered the industry.
