About the MAZIV Learnership Programme
The MAZIV Learnership Programme is intended to support skills development and workplace readiness among young people. By combining theory with practical experience, the programme gives participants an opportunity to learn how workplace responsibilities are handled and how to apply their knowledge in a professional setting.
One of the main benefits is workplace exposure, which can help participants understand employer expectations, develop professional habits and strengthen their CVs. Coaching and mentorship can also help learners identify their strengths, improve their performance and prepare for future employment opportunities.
