The programme gives you structured workplace experience in an administrative role at one of South Africa’s best-known energy and chemicals companies.

About the Sasol Learner Administrator Learnership 2026/2027
Sasol is an international integrated chemicals and energy company with major operations in South Africa. Two of its biggest sites are Sasolburg in the Free State and Secunda in Mpumalanga, and its corporate office is in Sandton, Gauteng. These sites employ thousands of people directly and support many more through contractors and suppliers.
This learnership places unemployed young people in administrative support roles inside the company for 12 months. Learnerships combine classroom learning with practical work, so you are not just studying theory. You spend your days in a real office, working with real teams, and you finish with a record of workplace experience that most first-time job seekers do not have.
Administration is a good entry point into a large company. Administrative learners learn how departments such as supply chain, finance, HR and IT actually run, and that exposure helps when you look for your next role inside or outside Sasol. The programme is advertised for people with no current job and no current studies, which means it targets exactly those who struggle to get a first foot in the door.
What You Will Learn
- Office administration practice in a corporate environment
- Handling documents, records and correspondence
- Working with company systems and basic computer applications
- Supporting teams in departments such as supply chain, finance, HR, IT or marketing
- Professional workplace conduct, communication and teamwork
- Stipend and qualification details: confirmed during the application process

Why This Opportunity Matters
South Africa’s youth unemployment rate is among the highest in the world, and young people with a Matric certificate but no work experience are hit hardest. Employers keep asking for experience that first-time job seekers have no way to get. A learnership breaks that loop.
A 12-month placement at a company like Sasol gives you a verifiable reference, practical skills and a network inside a large corporate. Those three things change how future employers see your CV. Even if you are not kept on after the programme, you leave as someone with proven workplace experience instead of a blank work history.
Spaces are limited and competition is heavy, so treat this like a job application. Apply early, use your own email address, and never pay anyone to secure a place. Sasol does not charge for learnership applications.
