Who should apply?

To be selected for the learnership programme, applicants must fulfill the eligibility criteria. These are laid out by Seriti Coal to select the best candidates for the role. Since there are a limited number of bursaries on offer, they cannot award to everyone. Therefore, always cross-check before applying to avoid rejection.
