What Determines a Learnership Stipend?

Not all learnerships pay the same. Here’s why:

1. Industry Type: IT, engineering, and finance learnerships usually pay higher than hospitality or retail.
2. SETA-Funded vs. Company-Funded: Some learnerships are government-funded (lower stipends), while private companies pay more to attract better talent.
3. Job Demand: Fields with a skills shortage (e.g., coding, energy, and finance) tend to pay more.

 Choosing a learnership is about more than just the stipend. It's important to consider the skills you'll gain, the experience you'll acquire, and how it aligns with your career goals. While a higher stipend is a nice perk, the real value lies in the opportunities these programs provide for your future.
