Are you between the ages of 18 and 30 and looking for a chance to grow your career in a big company? Then this is your moment. Maersk, one of the biggest names in logistics across the globe, is calling on young South Africans to join their YES Learnership Programme for 2025/2026.

This is a 12-month, full-time learnership based in Durban, South Africa, and it’s designed especially for young people who want to enter the workforce and grow in the logistics and supply chain industry.


Why You Should Apply for the Maersk Learnership

This programme is perfect for school leavers and unemployed youth who want to build real-world experience and learn in a professional environment. You don’t need previous work experience, and you don’t need to have a degree. If you have your Matric, are eager to learn, and want to grow, this could be your big break.

Here’s what the Maersk YES Learnership offers:

  • Practical work experience across different departments
  • Business training in logistics, operations, and admin
  • A chance to work in a real-world, high-paced environment

This learnership isn’t just a job — it’s a stepping-stone to a long and successful career.


What You’ll Be Doing

  • Doing basic admin tasks
  • Learning how to use systems and processes
  • Taking part in team projects and company activities
  • Supporting customer service teams
  • Learning how goods are moved around the country and the world

You’ll be part of a global team, but you’ll also work locally with people who are eager to help you succeed.
