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.
