These learnerships form part of the government?s National Skills Development aimed at imparting skills to creating jobs to ease poverty. These learnerships are offered under the auspices of the Sector Education and Training Authority (SETA) for the relevant industry.

Avusa Media was initially known as Johnnic Communications and was acquired by a unit of Mvelaphanda Group and renamed Times Media Group in 2012.

Publications and services under this brand include magazines like Computing SA, Elle, Financial Mail, SA Mining and Soccerlife; newspapers like The Sunday Times, The Times, The Sowetan, Sunday World, Daily Dispatch, and Business Day.

The Group also owns several community newspapers, publishers, retailers and a record company.

The Times Media Group offer a 12-month training internship in journalism programme for graduates as well as a Contact Centre Learnership.

Contact Centre Learnerships are open to those with the necessary qualifications required to study for the Further Education and Training (FET) Certificate in Contact Centre Operations, NQF Level 4. People with disabilities are also encouraged to apply.

The learnership consists of both practical and theoretical training in a call-centre environment. As a trainee, you will be taught how to do this via correction and human development in humane, secure and safe detention or under community-based correctional supervision.

This Contact Centre Learnership will give you the opportunity to learn the skills required to work in a call centre as well as gain intimate knowledge as to the required behaviour, respect, and attitude that is required in any workplace. This combination will make it easier for you to get employment in the future.

Learners will earn a stipend for the duration of the learnership.
