Toyota: Learnership Programme Opportunity 2016

Toyota South Africa and Toyota Financial Services South Africa (TFSSA) offer individuals from different communities across South Africa various learnership opportunities every year. These learnerships form part of the government’s National Skills Development Strategy to create skills and ease poverty and unemployment.

Toyota is a diversified, international corporate leader that has an established set of values, beliefs, principles and business methods which they call “The Toyota Way.” The two main pillars that support “The Toyota Way” are Continuous Improvement and Respect for People.

Toyota Financial Services South Africa (TFSSA) is a Registered Credit and Financial Services Provider that is part of a global network spanning 33 countries. TFSSA delivers end-to-end customer service across the South African Toyota Dealer Network and a full range of finance and insurance products for Toyota fleet customers, including full maintenance rental and leasing products and finance and insurance solutions for Hino customers.

Toyota Learnerships are open to those with the necessary qualification required for the learnership in question. All learnerships consist of both theoretical and practical training and are run according to Unit Standards set out by the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA).

Learnerships give individuals the opportunity to learn the required skills and gain the knowledge, acceptable behaviour and attitude that is required in the workplace. Learners will earn a monthly stipend for the duration of the learnership.

Toyota learnerships are offered in various disciplines and at various times of the year, so it is difficult to give the details of all the learnerships, but here are two examples of Toyota learnerships offered.
