How learnerships change landscapes

Learnership candidates who understand the complexity of corporate structure and governance have greater success rates in gaining employment and receive better feedback from their employers.

Johannesburg, 13 Jan 2020

Hiring the best possible skill set for the job remains a challenge for any HR department, but especially so if you are looking for young, empowered project management professionals. These candidates are hard to find, are in high demand and can command high salary expectations. To fill these roles, you may be best served by identifying and then developing your own pipeline of young project managers, equipped with the required theoretical skills and set up for success by a host of soft skills designed to add insight, resilience and ingenuity to their roles.

Over the past 12 years, PM Connection has learned that candidates need more support to succeed in the workplace, be it in understanding the complexity of corporate structure and governance, the inevitable deadlines and stress that it causes or simply having a better understanding of themselves to better interact with others. Candidates who have this kind of grounding have greater success rates in gaining employment and receive better feedback from their employers.

By investing your Skills Development levy in a focused and targeted learnership, you address most of these requirements.

The LearnConnect learnership is specifically designed to offer theoretical and practical learning, thereby providing learners with an opportunity to gain skills and experience, and increasing their chances of becoming employed exponentially. The theoretical component makes up a minimum of 30% of the total learnership and is spread across a 12-month period. This allows learners to apply their new skills and knowledge in the workplace, in an interactive process of learning. As an accredited Learnership Service Provider (13542), PM Connection is perfectly positioned to assist you in achieving all your Skills Development goals, while contributing to your procurement scorecard, as a B-BBEE Level 2 service provider.
