The so-called National Youth Service learnership doing rounds on social media that promises job seekers a stipend of R5000 per month, and asks job seekers to forward CV’s to the department, is a scam.
The Department of Employment and Labour’s Public Employment Service (PES) Branch is warning the public against this post and that they should not entertain it.
The Department’s PES Chief Director of Employment Services, Esther Tloane, said that the Branch knows nothing about this learnership. Tloane indicated that prospective job seekers should be wary of being asked to make any payments for services rendered as the Department does not operate that way.
The PES Branch exists to assist companies and workers to adjust to changing labour market conditions.
Tloane said that the Department uses its online job-matching platform called the Employment Services of South Africa (ESSA) in which job seekers register their CV’s while employers place job opportunities for matching purposes.
