The AgriSETA Learnership Programme offers unemployed South Africans an opportunity to gain practical skills, workplace experience, and a nationally recognised qualification in the agricultural sector. AgriSETA (Agricultural Sector Education and Training Authority) supports skills development across farming, agribusiness, forestry, and related industries to grow South Africa’s rural and agricultural economy.
AgriSETA learnerships are fully funded, meaning applicants do not pay any application or training fees. These programmes are designed to combine theoretical learning with on-the-job practical experience, helping learners become work-ready while improving their employability.
Successful applicants will participate in a structured learnership that includes:
Classroom-based training through accredited providers
Practical workplace exposure with farms, agri-businesses, or related organisations
A national qualification registered on the NQF
Ongoing mentorship and assessment
A monthly stipend to assist with basic living expenses
Most AgriSETA learnerships run for 12 to 24 months, depending on the qualification level and field of study.
AgriSETA learnerships are offered in various agricultural disciplines, including:
Plant Production
Animal Production
Mixed Farming
Agribusiness Management
Forestry and Primary Agriculture
Farm Management and Operations
Learners usually receive a monthly stipend while enrolled in the programme. Although the exact amount depends on the specific learnership and funding allocation, stipends typically range between R3 500 and R5 500 per month. The stipend is intended to support learners while they focus on training and workplace learning.
Minimum requirements vary by programme, but applicants generally must:
Be a South African citizen with a valid ID
Be unemployed at the time of application
Meet the minimum education requirement (often Grade 10, Grade 12, or a relevant qualification)
Be willing to complete both theory and practical training
Be committed to completing the full duration of the learnership
Gain a recognised qualification in agriculture
Develop practical, job-ready skills
Receive a stipend while learning
Improve chances of employment in the agricultural sector
Always ensure the programme is AgriSETA-accredited and avoid paying anyone to apply.
This is a valuable opportunity for individuals who want to build a sustainable career in agriculture.
