2. Apprentice Programme

1. Learnership Programme

A learnership is a work-based learning programme that leads to National Qualification Framework (NQF) registered qualification. Learnerships are directly related to an occupation or field of work.

The primary aim of learnerships is to address the gap between the current education and training provided and the needs of the current labour market.

TBSA also contributes in closing a gap by offering a 12 months Learnership Programme which entails a theory and practical training. Upon completion learners will be awarded NQF registered qualification. The company would absorb and retain learners who performed well during the programme which is a huge contribution to succumb the high unemployment rate in South Africa.

2. Apprenticeship Programme

An apprenticeship is a productive and effective way to grow talent and develop a motivated, skilled, and qualified workforce. TBSA has continuously contributed in the automotive industry by upskilling internal employees and external unemployed youth with giving them a formal apprenticeship programme. We specialised in the following trades: Millwright; Tool Making; Fitting and Turning and Electrical.
