About Seriti Learnership
Seriti Resources runs an Engineering Learnership Programme at its Middelburg Mine Services operation in Mpumalanga, training aspiring artisans in trades the coal mining industry depends on. As a major South African coal producer, Seriti needs a steady pipeline of qualified tradespeople to keep its operations running safely.
This learnership focuses specifically on artisan trades rather than degree-level engineering, making it a strong option for school leavers or N2 graduates who want a hands-on technical career without first completing a full engineering degree.
Seriti gives preference to applicants from the local host communities around its Middelburg operation, reflecting the same community investment approach many mining companies take with their skills programmes.

Funding Details
Learners gain the practical and theoretical experience needed to qualify as an artisan in one of four in-demand trades, backed by a company with an established position in South Africa's coal mining sector.
Because the programme trains people directly for roles the mining industry needs, successful graduates often have a realistic path toward employment at Seriti or elsewhere in the sector once they qualify.
Where You Can Study
Training takes place at Seriti's Middelburg Mine Services operation in Mpumalanga rather than at a university or college. This is a genuinely workplace-based programme, not a classroom-only qualification.
Because Seriti gives preference to applicants from local host communities, proof of residence in the relevant area can meaningfully improve your chances if you qualify for that preference.
