EduPower Learnership Programme 2025: Transforming Careers and Creating Opportunities
EduPower Learnership Programme 2025: Empowering South Africa’s Youth
Learnerships are a key vehicle in addressing South Africa’s unemployment crisis. The EduPower Learnership Programme 2025 is setting new standards by not only training individuals but also providing them with full-time employment opportunities. This initiative is a game-changer in bridging the gap between education and sustainable careers.
A Groundbreaking Absorption Model for Job Creation EduPower Learnership Programme 2025
EduPower Skills Academy is more than just a training provider—it is a catalyst for change. Recognizing the alarming unemployment trends in 2019, EduPower developed a powerful absorption model that ensures learners do not just graduate but secure meaningful employment.
According to Rajan Naidoo, Managing Director of EduPower, “Our model is designed to recruit, train, provide work experience, and ultimately absorb learners into full-time roles.” In March 2025 alone, 20 graduates from the learnership programme will transition into permanent employment.
Success in Numbers: Impact of EduPower Learnership Programme 2025
EduPower’s learnership model was piloted successfully, leading to the absorption of three graduates in 2020. This number has significantly grown, with over 100 job opportunities projected by 2022, demonstrating the model’s effectiveness. What sets it apart is the inclusion of people with disabilities, highlighting EduPower’s commitment to inclusive job creation.
From April 2021, 70% of EduPower’s staff consisted of its graduate learners, proving that this model is not just theoretical but a practical success. The programme has also catalyzed entrepreneurship, enabling learners to launch and manage small businesses.
Collaborating with Corporate Sponsors for Greater Impact
EduPower’s model thrives on partnerships with South African Blue Chip corporates. These companies sponsor recruitment, training, and contribute to the funding of the absorption model for B-BBEE Skills Development. This strategic alliance ensures high-quality training while fostering economic growth.
“Our sponsor clients play a crucial role in this journey,” Rajan explains. “With their support, we can provide high-impact training and sustained employment, unlocking five bonus points on their B-BBEE scorecard.”
The Value of Learnerships: Training with a Purpose
Many post-school graduates struggle to find jobs due to lack of experience and employer reluctance to take on fresh graduates. EduPower’s programme bridges this gap by combining theory with workplace experience to produce job-ready graduates.
Learnerships provide candidates, whether they have Grade 12 or not, with the work-readiness skills they need while earning a stipend. This approach ensures that learners become economically active immediately after completing their training.

- Learners secure long-term employment and economic independence.
- SMEs gain skilled employees to support their growth.
- Corporate sponsors achieve B-BBEE compliance while making a social impact.
“Learnerships change lives,” Rajan concludes. “Through our absorption model, we are not just building careers; we are building a stronger, self-sufficient South Africa.”
