Applications are open right now for the Amphi SA Supply Chain Learnership 2026 in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal. This fixed-term programme pays a stipend of R5,000 per month and closes on 21 October 2026. If you have completed a Supply Chain Management qualification, or something closely related, this could be your first real step into the working world. Places are limited, so it pays to prepare early and apply properly.
What is the Amphi SA Supply Chain Learnership 2026?
Amphi SA runs this learnership in the agriculture sector. Here are the key details in one place:
- Organisation: Amphi SA
- Programme: Supply Chain Management Learnership 2026
- Location: Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal
- Sector: Agriculture
- Stipend: R5,000 per month
- Contract: Fixed-term (duration not specified)
- Closing date: 21 October 2026
- Application route: SA Youth Mobi
The stipend helps cover food and transport while you learn. This matters, because many young people turn down opportunities they simply cannot afford to take. A paid learnership removes some of that pressure.
Who can apply?
Check each requirement honestly before you start. You need:
- A completed Supply Chain Management qualification, or one in a related field.
- Little or no previous supply chain work experience.
- To live in Pietermaritzburg or the surrounding areas.
- A motivation to learn and build practical skills.
Does your qualification really qualify?
Many applicants struggle with this part. The listing says “related field” but does not give a full course list or a required NQF level. So do not assume every business certificate counts. Also note: matric alone is not listed as enough.
Write your qualification’s full name exactly as it appears on your records. If your course title is broad, mention the modules you actually completed, such as procurement or logistics. This helps the recruiter assess you without changing anything about your qualification.
If you are unsure, ask the recruiter directly whether your course is accepted. A general interest in supply chain is good, but it does not replace proof of completed study.
Do you live close enough?
Use your real residential address on your profile. Never enter an address you do not live at. If you plan to relocate, ask first whether that arrangement is accepted.
“Surrounding areas” is not defined by a distance in the listing. Check the workplace address and work out whether you can travel there reliably every day. Compare your transport costs with the R5,000 stipend, and ask about starting and finishing times so you can plan your taxis, buses or lifts.
What will you gain from this learnership?
You will earn while you learn. The R5,000 monthly stipend supports you for the length of the programme. You also gain hands-on experience in supply chain work within the agriculture sector. That kind of experience is hard to get when employers keep asking for work history you do not have yet.
A fixed-term placement like this also strengthens your CV. It shows a real employer trusted you with real tasks. That counts when you apply for your next role.
How do you apply?
You apply through SA Youth Mobi, a free platform. Follow these steps:
- Open the application page. Go to the Amphi SA Supply Chain Management opportunity on SA Youth.
- Log in or tap “Join now”. Use your existing profile if you already have one.
- Update your details. Add your completed qualification, field of study, current address and reliable contact numbers.
- Check the opportunity. Confirm the employer, programme, stipend and deadline on the live listing, then read every screening question carefully.
- Complete the sections. Answer accurately and upload documents only where the platform asks for them.
- Submit before 21 October 2026. Save any confirmation and check your phone and email regularly.
A complete profile is not the same as a submitted application. Finish the full process and look for a confirmation. If the link does not reopen the programme after login, search for Amphi SA inside the platform.
The exact closing time is not stated. Do not plan around a midnight deadline on the final day. Submit early instead.
Tips to improve your chances
Make your CV work without job history
Many applicants worry because they have never held a supply chain job. That is exactly why this learnership exists. Put your qualification at the top of your CV, with the institution name and completion year. Keep these details consistent with your SA Youth profile and your records.
Then describe one genuine piece of academic or practical work. For example, if you built a stock spreadsheet during coursework, explain what it tracked and how you checked the entries. One clear example beats a long list of skills. Only mention Excel functions you can actually use and explain.
Show practical supply chain thinking
Here is a practice example. Imagine a delivery record says 20 cartons arrived, but your physical count finds 19. A good response is to recount, compare the records and report the difference for checking. Never change a record just to make the numbers match. Accuracy and honest communication matter when goods and information move through a business.
This is only an example to help you think. It is not a confirmed Amphi SA task or assessment. Use your real coursework to explain how you approach problems, and ask about your actual duties and supervision during recruitment.
Questions to ask before accepting
The programme is fixed-term, but its duration is not given. Before you change any plans, ask for:
- The start date and end date.
- Daily working hours and the exact workplace address.
- How the learning part works and who will supervise you.
- When the stipend is paid each month.
- Whether transport or accommodation support is included.
Get any promised support in the written offer before you build it into your budget.
Important things to remember
A few honest points before you apply:
- Matric alone is not listed as sufficient. Do not assume a short course qualifies automatically. Give the exact course name and completion evidence so the recruiter can assess it.
- Get formal proof of completion. Ask your institution for it and confirm the recruiter accepts it. Never mark unfinished studies as complete to pass a screening question.
- The duration is unknown. The length of another organisation’s learnership does not apply here. Request the contract dates before you accept.
- No transport or accommodation benefits are confirmed. Ask what support is included and what you must cover yourself, then budget using the written terms.
- SA Youth is free. Apply directly and complete your own application. Paying an intermediary is not part of this process.
Take your next step today
Learnerships like this one attract many prepared applicants, and there is no guarantee of a place. But you put yourself in a far stronger position by checking your qualification, confirming your location and submitting early.
Update your SA Youth profile, gather your completion proof and apply before 21 October 2026. Keep your supporting documents ready and save your confirmation. While you wait for feedback, keep exploring other learnerships that match your studies. Every accurate application you send builds the habit that eventually brings the yes.
