Look, if you’re someone living with a disability and you’re itching to get your foot in the HR door, Sasol’s throwing open the gates with their 2025 HR Administration Learnership. No, this isn’t just a buzzword parade—Sasol’s been around for 70 years doing big things in chemicals and energy, and now they’re dropping a solid opportunity for folks who want to build something real in Human Resources.
Quick & Dirty Details:
- Closing Date: 8 July 2025
- Spots: Johannesburg, Sandton, Secunda, Sasolburg
- Reference: Req no. 8813
- Contract: 12 months, fixed term (that’s a whole year, people)
Sasol’s all about shaking up the status quo. They’re not just hiring—they’re legit investing in new talent, and they actually want a mix of voices and backgrounds. It’s not just talk.
The Learnership Lowdown:
- Duration: 12 months (count ‘em)
- NQF-aligned, so you’re not wasting your time
- Locations: Pick your poison—Sandton, Secunda, Sasolburg, Jozi
- Who it’s for: People living with disabilities (bring legit docs)
- Education: Matric/Grade 12 (If you’ve got an HR diploma or degree, even better)
- Experience: Zero to one year (so yes, you’re welcome if you’re green)
What You’ll Actually Learn (a.k.a. Not Just Making Coffee)
- Business ops & entrepreneurship (so you can actually understand what’s happening around you)
- Customer service (because, let’s be real, every job needs this)
- Basic business accounting (no, you won’t become a CPA, but you won’t be clueless)
- Communication skills (no more awkward emails)
- Maths and computer literacy (because Excel isn’t going away, sorry)
Real-World Stuff:
- Supporting HR teams—not just watching from the sidelines
- Getting into recruitment, onboarding, and all the HR jazz
- Using HR systems (yup, there’s data. Lots of data)
- Making sure HR docs are on point
- Learning the ropes on compensation, benefits, and staff movement
- Jumping into projects and change management (it’s not as scary as it sounds)
- Actually living Sasol’s values, not just reading them off a poster
Who Should Apply?
Minimum:
- Matric/Grade 12
- SA citizen (sorry, no international gigs here)
- Living with a disability (and yeah, you’ll need to prove it)
- Ready to stick it out for 12 months
- Actually care about HR and admin
Bonus points if you’ve got a diploma or degree in HR (or related stuff).
Skills That’ll Make You Stand Out:
- You like helping people (customer focus)
- You actually pay attention to details (not just saying it on your CV)
- Team player vibes
- Take responsibility (no blaming the dog)
- Can handle curveballs and learn on the fly
- Not scared of a fast-paced environment
Why Bother?
Honestly, Sasol isn’t just chucking you a temp job—think of it as a career jumpstart. You’ll get:
- Real diversity & inclusion (not just a checkbox)
- Space to grow. These learnerships can open doors, for real
- Support. You’ll actually get mentorship, not just a shadow to follow
Perks? Oh, you bet:
- Monthly stipend (yes, money)
- Actual work experience, not just theory
- HR & business ops exposure
- NQF certificate you can actually show off
- You’ll leave way more employable than when you started
How to Jump In:
Don’t overthink it—if you tick the boxes, go for it before 8 July 2025. Make sure you’ve got:
- Your CV (don’t make it weird)
- Certified ID copy
- Certified Matric certificate
- Proof of disability (yeah, the paperwork matters)
And that’s it. Go smash it.
