Internships in South Africa, Learnerships in South Africa

The Zurich Learnership Programme is offered in partnership with INSETA (Insurance Sector Education and Training Authority) and focuses on assisting previously disadvantaged young South Africans by creating the opportunity to gain work-related experience in the short-term insurance industry. During the 12-month programme, the learners are placed in the core operations of the business (Sales, Underwriting and Claims) and simultaneously work towards obtaining a FETC Short Term Insurance Qualification.

Zurich regards the Learnership Programme as a key economic and social enabler as it benefits the candidate, society and the insurance industry as a whole. Successful candidates receive full accreditation of the FETC Short Term Insurance Qualification at level 4 and are FAIS compliant.

 

The Zurich Learnership Programme is targeted at young South Africans who meet the following criteria:

  • Under the age of 24 (i.e. turning 24 in 2015)
  • Previously disadvantaged
  • South African citizen
  • Has a Grade 12 qualification or equivalent
  • Is able to communicate (speak, read, write) in English, and being able to communicate in any of the other official languages will be regarded as an added advantage.

  • Has not obtained any further qualifications since Grade 12 and is not presently studying towards a qualification
  • Does not have the financial means to obtain a qualification
