I need some valid work experience in a field, I am still young so I can go into whichever I land up getting work in. I would like an apprenticeship as I have no experience currently and I am a measure twice cut once type of person, that being said I would rather learn first hand what to do prior to doing it.

Without getting into the politics behind this particular movement--have you tried contacting Solidarity?

Sol-Tech – The occupational training college of your choice - Solidariteit Wêreld

I know it is not an apprenticeship per se but they may offer scholarships/placements. I have heard that the training is of a very high standard.

Also not sure if the following program is still running but was really good, I would even say world class about 4 years ago:

National Technologies Implementation Platform
TDM Powered

Was to train tool and die makers / fitters with certification from international bodies and back then, they did pay a stipend and helped their students alot. Like I said though, this was a few years ago and unfortunately it may have lost momentum/lost funding since.

If you want to go into engineering, you can also study most disciplines through Unisa. It is a long road to qualification but well worth it at the end.

All of the best to you!

Did any apprenticeship programs survive the change in regime?
