graduate programme to give unemployed graduates with a completed BCom degree
the opportunity to gain practical skills. At the request of the sector, the Post Graduate Learnership for Unemployed Youth, now known as
the BANKSETA Kuyasa Programme was launched in March 2005. The learnership makes use of the infrastructure
created by the BANKSETA Letsema Programme and is fully funded by the BANKSETA. |
