AgriSETA supports skills development in South Africa’s agricultural sector through programmes such as learnerships, internships, bursaries, artisan development and graduate placement.
Who Is AgriSETA For?
AgriSETA opportunities are aimed at developing skills needed within the agriculture sector and can benefit unemployed learners, graduates and other eligible participants depending on the programme.
Learnership Opportunities
AgriSETA supports Learnership 18.1 and 18.2 programmes as part of its skills development interventions.
The 18.2 category is associated with unemployed learners.
However, applicants generally do not apply directly to AgriSETA as individuals for every programme. AgriSETA states that funding is channelled through relevant employers or accredited training providers.
Other AgriSETA Opportunities
Depending on the funding cycle, programmes can include:
Graduate placement
Internships
Bursaries
Artisan development
Skills programmes
Learnerships
Adult Education and Training
Rural development initiatives
Application Period
AgriSETA’s current information states that its annual funding window includes graduate placements, internships, bursaries and artisan development from 1 August to 15 September, while other interventions can have separate application periods.
Applicants should therefore check the current funding cycle and programme requirements.
Conclusion
AgriSETA can be an excellent option for South Africans interested in agriculture, farming, food production and related careers. Always apply through the correct employer or accredited provider rather than paying an unofficial agent.
