For many young people, computer skills are no longer just an advantage.
They are a basic requirement for office work, administration, customer service, data capturing and many entry-level career paths.
This learnership gives unemployed youth a chance to build that foundation with structured training and support.
What is the EASTC MICTSETA End User Computing Learnership?
The EASTC MICTSETA End User Computing Learnership is a 12-month training programme focused on End User Computing NQF Level 3.
It is designed to help unemployed learners develop practical computer skills that can be used in the workplace.
End User Computing usually covers everyday digital tasks such as working with documents, spreadsheets, email, files, computer systems and basic office productivity tools.
For beginners, this can be a strong step toward becoming more employable.
Who is offering this learnership?
The programme is offered by EASTC Technocentric Varsity in partnership with MICTSETA.
MICTSETA supports skills development in the media, information and communication technologies sector.
That makes this learnership especially relevant for young people who want to improve their digital skills and prepare for opportunities in modern workplace environments.
How many beneficiaries will be selected?
The learnership will accommodate 30 beneficiaries.
This means space is limited, so applicants should prepare carefully and submit a complete application before the deadline.
When only 30 spaces are available, following instructions matters.
A missing document, unclear copy or late submission can easily weaken an application.
How long is the learnership?
The programme runs for 12 months.
Selected learners must be ready to commit to the full duration of the learnership.
A full-year programme can help learners build discipline, routine, confidence and practical digital ability over time.
How much is the stipend?
Successful learners will receive a monthly stipend of:
R2,500
The stipend can help with transport and basic costs while learners attend the programme.
Applicants should still plan carefully, especially because applications must be submitted by hand delivery.
Who can submit an application?
Applicants must meet the minimum requirements before applying.
Candidates must:
- Have Grade 12
- Be unemployed
- Be South African citizens
- Be under the age of 35
- Reside in Gauteng, specifically Tembisa or Kempton Park
- Not be enrolled in any other training programme
- Submit an updated CV
- Provide certified clear copies of ID and qualifications
- Make sure certified copies are not older than three months
The opportunity is aimed at local youth who can access the training location and commit to the programme.
Why is End User Computing a useful qualification?
End User Computing is one of the most practical digital skills areas for young people entering the workplace.
Many entry-level roles require basic computer confidence.
This learnership can support future opportunities in:
- Office administration
- Data capturing
- Reception support
- Customer service
- Call centre environments
- Basic ICT support pathways
- Further computer training
- Business support roles
Even in non-technical careers, computer literacy is often expected.
Learning how to use digital tools properly can make a young applicant more competitive.
Why should unemployed youth consider this opportunity?
Unemployed youth often face a difficult cycle.
Employers want skills and experience, but many young people have not yet had access to training or workplace preparation.
This learnership helps by giving selected beneficiaries structured computer training, an NQF Level 3 pathway and a monthly stipend.
It can also help learners build confidence for future applications, interviews and further study.
For someone who wants to enter the digital workplace, this is a practical starting point.
What documents are required?
Applicants must prepare a complete application pack before submission.
Required documents include:
- Updated CV
- Certified copy of ID
- Certified copies of qualifications
- Grade 12 certificate
- Any other relevant supporting documents
Certified copies must be clear and must not be older than three months.
Applicants should avoid submitting blurry documents, expired certified copies or incomplete application packs.
Itumeleng’s Insider Tip: Because applications must be hand delivered, prepare your documents neatly before travelling. Place your updated CV first, followed by your certified ID copy and certified qualifications. Make sure your phone number is correct and easy to see on the first page.
How can candidates submit an application?
Applications must be submitted by hand delivery only.
Applicants must deliver their documents to:
48 Northrand Road
Kempton Park
1619
Applicants should ask for:
Mogau Matentsi
The flyer clearly states that no email applications will be accepted.
This means applicants should not send documents by email or wait for an online application link.
What should applicants check before submitting?
Before hand delivering the application, check everything carefully.
Make sure:
- Your CV is updated
- Your ID copy is certified
- Your qualification copies are certified
- Certified copies are not older than three months
- Your documents are clear and readable
- Your contact number is correct
- Your address shows that you meet the location requirement
- You are not enrolled in another training programme
- You submit before 08 May 2026
A complete application shows that you can follow instructions.
That is important in any learnership selection process.
Why should applicants not wait until the final day?
Hand delivery takes planning.
Applicants may need time to print documents, certify copies, arrange transport and check the application pack.
Waiting until the last day can create problems if:
- A document is missing
- A copy is not certified
- Certification is older than three months
- Transport is delayed
- The office is busy
- The application pack is incomplete
Early submission gives applicants more control.
For a programme with only 30 beneficiary spaces, preparation can make a real difference.
