Niche learnerships
Niche learnerships are demand driven and a response to the need for specific skills required in the work environment as well as transformation imperatives. The BANKSETA supports the introduction of niche learnerships in the sector provided there is a genuine need for it and that a proper needs analysis is done. The learnership should have broad applicability in the sector and should not be a once-off initiative.
 
Important learnership information for employers
 
When learnerships are registered with the Department of Labour they become public domain. This means that in addition to the learnerships registered by the BANKSETA employers may also participate in learnerships registered by other SETA's. A list of all learnerships registered can be found on www.labour.gov.za and additional information on those learnerships can be obtained from the SETA that registered them.
Important learnership information for learners
 
Please note the BANKSETA does not recruit learners to go on learnerships. When an employer in the banking sector participates in a learnership they are responsible for the recruitment and selection of learners to go on learnerships. Learners are advised to register at the Department of Labour centres to ensure that employers and recruitment agencies making use of the database have access to their details.
 
Important learnership information for training providers
 
In terms of legislation all training providers participating in learnerships must be accredited by the relevant ETQA. When requesting the BANKSETA to register a learnership, training providers must have a letter of commitment from the employer party to supply the learner with the required workplace exposure
