Why It Matters
Youth unemployment in South Africa is severe, and it hits young women particularly hard.

The RAM Couriers Learnership 2026 tackles both issues by giving unemployed young women paid, supervised experience in a professional courier environment.
Durban is one of the country’s busiest logistics hubs, with major port facilities, distribution centres and transport networks that create ongoing demand for skilled drivers. Completing this learnership can lead to employment in courier companies, distribution centres, retail logistics, warehousing and fleet management, turning a Code 10 licence into the foundation of a lasting career.
