The Media, Information and Communication Technologies Sector Education and Training Authority supports occupationally directed learning programmes that combine theoretical education with practical workplace experience.
What Can You Study?
MICT SETA operates across areas connected to media, information and communication technologies. Depending on the programme, opportunities can be linked to areas such as information technology, software, digital media and related occupations.
MICT SETA Learnership Stipend
MICT SETA states that learners enrolled in its funded learnership programmes are eligible for a R2,500 monthly stipend, subject to attendance and fulfilment of the programme requirements.
The stipend is a learner grant and should not be confused with a normal salary.

Requirements differ between programmes. Applicants should carefully read the specific advertisement to confirm:
- Minimum qualification
- Age requirements
- Employment status
- Province or location
- Programme duration
- Required documents
How to Apply
Follow the application instructions contained in the specific MICT SETA or accredited-provider advertisement.
Applicants should be cautious of scams and should never pay a person who promises to secure a learnership.
Conclusion
MICT SETA opportunities can help unemployed South Africans gain practical experience and digital skills. The R2,500 monthly stipend attached to funded learnerships can also provide financial support during the programme, subject to the relevant conditions.
