Opportunity Overview

The South African Government has released Circular 33 for 2026, announcing a range of employment opportunities across various departments and provincial administrations. This circular outlines numerous positions, including internships and learnerships, providing a gateway for individuals looking to contribute to public service.

Opportunities are available within key national departments such as Agriculture, Defence, Employment and Labour, Home Affairs, Tourism, Treasury, and Water and Sanitation, among others. Provincial administrations in the Free State, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga, North West, and Western Cape also have vacancies.

This initiative aims to attract individuals keen to start or advance their careers within the public sector, offering diverse roles across a wide geographic spread in South Africa.

Minimum Requirements

  • Applicants with foreign qualifications must ensure they are evaluated by the South African Qualification Authority (SAQA).

How to Apply

  • Complete the Z83 Form: Obtain a Z83 form, which can be downloaded as a PDF or editable document, or sourced from any Public Service Department.
  • Prepare Your Documents: Your application must include a recent, updated, comprehensive Curriculum Vitae (CV). You must also provide certified copies of all your qualifications, academic record, and a certified copy of your ID document.
  • Submission of Documents: Failure to submit all the requested documents and information will result in your application not being considered.

What a learnership actually is

A learnership is a structured programme registered with a SETA under the Skills Development Act 97 of 1998. It is not a job with training attached — it is a qualification you earn by doing the work. You sign a three-party agreement between yourself, the employer and the accredited training provider, alongside a fixed-term employment contract that lasts as long as the programme does.

How learnerships work: the week, the qualification and where it leads →

Watch out for this

A legitimate learnership never charges you. If anyone asks for a registration, placement or administration fee, it is not a learnership — report it. You can confirm that a programme is registered by contacting the relevant SETA directly.
