Barberton Mines Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Learnership

Barberton Mines invites you to join their Barberton Learnership programme for Electrical and Mechanical Engineering positions. With the first gold produced in 1886, Barberton now has three mines, which are Sheba, Fairview and New Consort. With these mines, they give an opportunity for qualified N2 students to gain the necessary skills there through their Barberton Learnership programme.

The shortlisted candidates will be able to learn the skills to the field of their expertise. This will lead to another competency towards a trade certificate. As those skills are tightly related to mining expertise, students will be likely to gain exposure to those skills professionally. For this programme, the positions you can learn about are in the Electrical and Mechanical Engineering field. If you have the requirements they need to be eligible, you can then join this programme. Since the skills in mining are quite special, you will not be able to gain expertise except if you join a mining company. This Barberton Learnership programme is just what you need to get the skills you want.
