Host Engineering Learners

The Ergo Business Development Academy (EBDA) utilises government grants to recruit engineering learners but is in desperate need to identify companies that are willing to host them for the onthe-job/practical component of their training. The duration of an engineering learnership (depending on the trade) is, on average, 27 months where approximately half of that time is spent at the Ergo Business Development Academy (based in Brakpan) and the balance at the host company.

Should you be interested in becoming a host company or require any further information, please contact the Ergo Business Development Academy (EBDA) on (011) 742-1045/51 or via email on info@ebda.co.za or fill in the contact form and we will get back to you within 48 hours.
