You have until 03 June 2026 to secure a spot in the Sasol Administration Learnership. If you finished Matric and feel stuck trying to find your first job, this 12-month programme offers a real way to gain workplace experience while earning a qualification.
Many young South Africans leave school with a Grade 12 certificate but struggle to get hired because they lack practical experience. This learnership solves that problem by giving you structured training and hands-on admin work at one of South Africa’s largest companies.
What is this opportunity?
Sasol is offering two separate Administration Learnership tracks. Both run for 12 months as fixed-term contracts. You will complete theoretical training aligned to an NQF qualification while working alongside experienced professionals.
The first track is open to all eligible candidates under Job Req ID 12281. The second track is specifically for people living with disability under Job Req ID 12280. Both programmes offer the same training and closing date, but you must apply through the correct portal.
The posting location is listed as Sandton, South Africa. However, the actual programme runs at Various Sasol Locations. Read the online listing carefully to understand where you might be placed.
Who can apply?
You need a completed Matric or Grade 12 certificate. That is the only formal education requirement. You do not need previous work experience or an admin background to qualify.
This opportunity suits you if you are willing to learn, follow workplace rules, and grow your confidence in a professional setting. Be honest with yourself. Competition for Sasol learnerships is strong. Many applicants apply, but only those who meet the criteria and submit correctly will move forward.
What will you gain?
During the 12 months, you will study seven core subjects. These include:
- Entrepreneurship
- Business Operations
- Customer Service
- Business Accounting
- Maths Literacy
- Communication Skills
- Computer Skills
The practical component takes place at Various Sasol Locations. You will support real departments with administrative tasks. You will learn how offices function, how to coordinate work, and how to communicate professionally.
This experience helps you understand workplace expectations. You will build habits around accountability, planning, and self-development that serve you throughout your career.
