The Department of Social Development is often offering priceless and valuable opportunities to the perfect and suitable candidates to take part in the program of Social Development learnership. The candidates must pass Grade 12 requirements so they can fit the potential placement within the program. Of course, there are other requirements and processing stages. However, the idea is to provide a way for dedicated individuals with the intentions of helping others so they can move on and gain better path (or future).

About the Program

As it was mentioned before, the Social Development learnership program is about improving one skill and ability to help others. Beside given the necessary and crucial knowledge, they are also given the direct chances to implement the theory. In an overall sense, they don’t only gain the benefits of theory but also practice.

Not many people realize that there are many career options in this Social Development working line.  The most popular and common career picks are Counselor, Child Development, Office Administration, Media Relations, Social Worker, Family Planning, and Child Care.

If you take a look at each field, you will see the chances for social development roles that are revolving around helping families, the elderly, kids, and healing communities. Many of these programs and opportunities require the participants to travel, work in rural areas, and so much more. Those who aren’t comfortable with working in the rural areas shouldn’t bother applying for the program.

The program wants to improve the equity of the department’s employment, so they provide preference to these cases (although not limited to the cases):

  • Child headed families
  • Orphans youth that is related or connected to military veterans
  • Youth (disregard the gender and race groups), inclusive of people with disabilities foster kids

The program lasts for 12 months. Placements are determined across the department. Successful candidates are expected to follow suit of those placement options.
