iLearn is offering unemployed South African youth a Logistics and Administration Learnership with a monthly stipend of R5 700. Candidates aged 18 or older may qualify with Grade 9, 10, 11 or Grade 12. The programme provides practical workplace exposure across logistics, supply chain, warehousing and key administrative support functions.
For young people who left school before completing Matric, finding structured workplace training can feel especially difficult.
This programme lowers that barrier.
By accepting candidates from Grade 9, iLearn is creating a broader entry point for unemployed youth who are ready to learn, work with others and explore logistics or administration.
What is the iLearn Logistics and Administration Learnership about?
The iLearn Logistics and Administration Learnership is designed to help unemployed youth gain practical workplace skills through structured learning.
Participants may be placed in logistics, warehouse, supply chain or administrative support environments depending on the needs of participating organisations.
iLearn is a nationally accredited learning solutions provider that works with employers to deliver workplace-linked skills programmes.
The programme combines practical exposure with nationally recognised training aimed at improving workplace readiness.

The learnership is open to unemployed South African youth aged 18 or older.
Candidates must have completed one of the following school levels:
- Grade 9
- Grade 10
- Grade 11
- Grade 12 or Matric
The Grade 9 entry point makes the programme accessible to candidates who may not qualify for opportunities that require a completed Matric certificate.
Candidates should also demonstrate:
- Good communication abilities
- A willingness to learn
- The ability to work within a team
- Interest in logistics, administration or supply chain operations
- A positive and reliable attitude
Previous workplace experience was not listed as a requirement.
Which departments could learners join?
Participants may be placed in different operational and administrative areas depending on business requirements and available host opportunities.
Possible placements include:
- Logistics Assistant
- Inventory or Stock Clerk
- Warehouse Controller
- Dispatch and Receiving Assistant
- Transportation Coordinator
- Supply Chain Assistant
- Junior Administrator
Each placement supports a different part of the process that moves products, information and documents through an organisation.
Candidates should therefore select or accept a field that matches their interests and willingness to learn.
What could participants learn during the programme?
Logistics and administration depend on accuracy, communication and teamwork.
Participants may gain exposure to areas such as:
- Receiving and dispatch processes
- Warehouse operations
- Inventory and stock records
- Administrative document management
- Transport coordination
- Supply chain support
- Workplace communication

The exact responsibilities may differ according to the department and host organisation.
Even basic duties can build useful workplace habits when they involve punctuality, accountability and accurate record keeping.
How much is the monthly stipend?
Successful participants will receive a monthly stipend of R5 700 during the learnership.
The stipend can help learners manage transport, meals and other personal expenses while participating in the programme.
Candidates should still plan their monthly costs carefully because the payment date and any attendance conditions were not provided.
What should candidates prepare before registering?
Candidates should ensure that their personal and education information is accurate before starting the online process.
Useful information to prepare includes:
- Full personal details
- Active telephone number
- Professional email address
- South African identity details
- Highest school grade completed
- Current employment status
- Preferred learning field

If a curriculum vitae is requested, it should clearly show the candidate’s education, communication abilities and interest in logistics or administration.

Itumeleng’s Insider Tip: Because this learnership accepts candidates from Grade 9, attitude and application quality may carry extra weight. Do not simply state that you need any opportunity. Explain why logistics, warehousing, supply chain operations or administration interests you, and make sure recruiters can reach you using the contact details provided.
Where will the training take place?
A specific province or workplace location was not included in the programme information.
Placement details may depend on the participating organisation and the opportunities available through iLearn.
Candidates should review all location and attendance information shown during the online registration process before final submission.
When should applications be submitted?
No official closing date was provided.
Interested candidates should complete the online process promptly and continue checking their telephone messages and email for possible communication.
How can candidates submit their application?
Applications must be completed through the official iLearn online application portal.
Candidates should complete every required section carefully and ensure that their school level, employment status and contact details are correct.
Submitting the form does not guarantee placement. Selection may depend on eligibility, available host organisations and programme capacity.
Why is this learnership worth considering?
Many entry-level logistics and administration opportunities require Matric or previous workplace experience.
The iLearn programme creates a more accessible route by accepting candidates who have completed Grade 9, 10, 11 or Grade 12.
Participants can gain practical exposure while earning a monthly stipend and developing skills that may support future opportunities in warehousing, transport, inventory control, supply chain operations and office administration.
For unemployed youth ready to learn and work within a team, this programme could provide a useful first step into the working environment.
