AfriSam 2026 In‑Service Training: Secure Your Spot, Advance Your Career
AfriSam Dudfield invites suitably qualified applicants to apply for their In‑Service Training vacancies.
The closing date for applications is 31 January 2026.
What is AfriSam Dudfield’s In‑Service Training?
AfriSam Dudfield, a part of AfriSam (South Africa) (Pty) Ltd, is opening a brand‑new 18‑month learning‑by‑doing program for 2026.
It’s designed for students who already have a level‑6 (N6) qualification in Human Resources or Finance, or a level‑4 (S4) qualification in Analytical Chemistry.
During the 18 months you’ll work alongside real professionals in construction and materials testing, building the confidence and skills you need to land a full‑time job.
Why is this training a big deal?
Many TVET (Technical and Vocational Education & Training) students struggle to get a real workplace placement.
You might have the diploma and the ambition, but without hands‑on experience your resume looks flat.
AfriSam’s program bridges that gap. It gives you a chance to:
- Work in a live environment
- Learn the daily routines of your chosen field
- Make professional contacts that can help you later
- Add solid experience to your CV
Which fields are available?
| Field | Qualification Needed | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Human Resources | N6 in Human Resources Management | 18 months |
| Finance | N6 in Financial Management | 18 months |
| Analytical Chemistry | S4 in Analytical Chemistry | 18 months |
Who can apply?
- Students who completed the required qualification (N6 or S4).
- Candidates who are part of the HDSA program get the first preference.
- Females living in Ditsobotla Local Municipality also get priority.
- It’s a bonus if you live in any of these towns: Bodibe Boikhutso, Blydeville, Coligny, Itsoseng, Lichtenburg, or Verdwaal.
