NEMISA Launches Free Phone Repair Training to Empower Unemployed Youth

If you’re between 18 and 35, currently unemployed, and looking to pick up a practical skill that can actually make you money, this one’s for you. NEMISA is running a Cellphone Repair Training Programme for 2025, aimed at South Africa’s unemployed youth—specifically those based in Lusikisiki, Eastern Cape.

In a world where nearly everyone owns a smartphone, knowing how to fix one isn’t just useful—it’s profitable. This programme is built to give young people the technical know-how to either get a job or start their own small business.

What You’ll Learn

The training focuses on hands-on skills—things like diagnosing issues, fixing hardware and software problems, and even learning how to run a small repair business. It’s not just theory; you’ll get real practical experience. The full course includes:

  • 4 weeks of in-person training
  • 2 weeks of online mentoring and coaching

There’s no stipend, but the skills you’ll leave with are meant to help you build a source of income for the long term.

What You’ll Need to Apply

To qualify, you must:

  • Be a South African citizen with a valid ID
  • Be currently unemployed
  • Be between the ages of 18 and 35
  • Have a Grade 12 with at least 40% in Maths or 50% in Maths Literacy
  • Be based in Lusikisiki, Eastern Cape
  • Be willing to take and pass a pre-assessment test
  • Complete two Microsoft Digital Literacy short courses
  • Commit to finishing the full 6-week programme

Documents to Submit

When applying, make sure you have:

  • A certified copy of your ID

  • An updated CV
  • Your Matric certificate
  • A short motivational letter telling them why you want in
