Value Logistics, a division of the Value Group, has announced three learnership opportunities available in 2026 aimed at unemployed young South Africans who have completed their Matric certificate. These learnerships provide 12 months of structured occupational training combining practical workplace experience with formal instruction in the transport and logistics sector. Successful learners will receive a monthly stipend of R4,240 along with a completion bonus.
Available Learnership Qualifications and Locations
Applicants can choose from the following programmes based on their interest and location:
- Road Transport Supervision (NQF Level 4) – Germiston, Gauteng
- Freight Handler (NQF Level 3) – Germiston, Gauteng
- Road Transport Supervision (NQF Level 4) – Cato Ridge, KwaZulu-Natal
Who Can Apply?
The learnerships target unemployed South African youth who hold a Matric certificate as a minimum qualification. For the Freight Handler NQF Level 3 learnership in Germiston, there is an age restriction: applicants must be between 19 and 29 years old. The Road Transport Supervision programmes do not specify an age limit but applicants should verify all eligibility criteria on the application platform prior to applying.
Programme Details and Requirements
Each learnership runs for 12 months and includes both practical workplace exposure within operational logistics environments and weekly classroom sessions (one week per month for the Road Transport Supervision programmes). Participants must be available to work Monday to Friday, typically from 07:00 to 17:00, with the possibility of overtime.
The programmes culminate in an External Integrated Summative Assessment (EISA), evaluating learners’ occupational competencies.
The learnerships provide valuable workplace experience in areas such as transport operations, freight handling, scheduling, safety, documentation, and operational coordination, assisting youth to build relevant skills for the logistics sector.
Financial Support and Benefits
Each successful learner will earn a monthly stipend of R4,240 during the programme. Upon successful completion, learners are eligible for a bonus, though the amount and specific conditions are not disclosed. These learnerships are fixed-term training contracts and do not guarantee permanent employment afterward.
Application Deadline
Applications opened on 16 October 2026 and close on 15 November 2026. Interested candidates should ensure to submit their applications prior to this closing date.
How to Apply

Direct application links for each learnership are:
- Road Transport Supervision NQF 4 – Germiston
- Freight Handler NQF 3 – Germiston
- Road Transport Supervision NQF 4 – Cato Ridge, KwaZulu-Natal
Important Considerations Before Applying
Applicants should carefully select the learnership that aligns with their career interests and practical circumstances. For example, the Cato Ridge learnership requires travel to KwaZulu-Natal, so candidates should consider transport logistics. Candidates for the Germiston Freight Handler learnership must meet the age criterion. No prior logistics experience is required, but showcasing transferable skills like communication, teamwork, and reliability is advantageous.
Finally, applicants should not assume employment after completion but view the learnership as a stepping stone to gain qualifications and experience in the transport and logistics sector.
