Ready to protect and serve? The Raymond Mhlaba Local Municipality, in collaboration with the Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP), offers a 12-month Law Enforcement Learnership for unemployed youth aged 18–35 in the Eastern Cape. With a Grade 12 and ~R3,500/month stipend, you’ll gain skills for a law enforcement career. Apply now to join a 4.0/5 Indeed-rated initiative.
Why the EPWP Learnership Stands Out
Unlike typical training programs, this EPWP learnership tackles South Africa’s 47.1% youth unemployment rate (Stats SA 2021) by providing NQF-aligned training in municipal law enforcement. With 65% of participants advancing to roles like traffic wardens or SAPS trainees (edupstairs.org), you’ll serve communities in Alice or Bedford, supporting 200,000+ residents in a R2 billion regional economy.‽web:0
