Absa Face-to-Face Financial Adviser Learnership Programme

Absa invites suitably qualified applicants to apply for their Face-to-Face Financial Adviser Learnership Programme in Bloemfontein. This opportunity is open to unemployed youth, and the closing date for applications is 16 December 2025. If you’ve been searching for a real chance to start your professional journey inside one of Africa’s biggest banking groups, this learnership might be exactly what you’ve been waiting for.

Why This Learnership Stands Out

For more than a century, Absa has built its name by serving people across Africa with trust, stability, and expertise. Today, the bank continues to grow as a proudly African group, and they are giving young people a chance to be part of that future. This programme is specially shaped for individuals who want to explore the financial world, learn from skilled professionals, and gain real working experience while being supported every step of the way.

Many young job seekers struggle to find experience, and this learnership is designed to close that gap. You get the benefit of training, guidance, and hands-on exposure all under one programme. If you studied Finance, Accounting, Law, or any similar field, this opportunity gives you a strong place to start building a real career.


What This Learnership Is All About

A 12-Month Learning Journey

This is a full 12-month programme aimed at unemployed youth who want to become Financial Advisers. You will be trained, mentored, and equipped with knowledge that will help you understand how financial advising works in the real world. It’s not just classroom learning. You will get practical tasks, real customers, and real responsibilities.

Who This Opportunity Is Best For

This programme is perfect for people who:

  • Are eager to learn and ready to grow
  • Enjoy working with people
  • Want to build a career in finance or banking
  • Are committed to improving their skills every day
  • Are looking for a chance to prove themselves in a large organisation

If you’ve always imagined yourself helping people reach their money goals or guiding them to make smart decisions, this is a solid starting point.

Working Professionally
