Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) invites suitably qualified applicants to apply for the MSC Learnership Programme 2026. This learnership is designed for young people who want to build a long-term career in the maritime, shipping, and international trade industry. The programme is fully funded by MSC and offers both theoretical learning and real workplace experience, making it one of the strongest learnership opportunities available to youth.
If you have Matric, enjoy working with computers, and want to understand how global trade and shipping work, this learnership could open doors you never thought possible.
MSC is one of the largest shipping companies in the world, operating across continents and handling millions of containers every year. Being trained by a company of this size gives you exposure to global standards, real industry knowledge, and recognised qualifications that matter in the job market.
Many young people struggle to find work because they lack experience. This learnership is built to solve that problem by combining studies, hands-on training, and a monthly stipend. You do not just learn in class. You learn by doing the job.
Each year, MSC runs a structured learnership programme to give young people a chance to gain skills and qualifications in the maritime and logistics sector. The programme is divided into three clear phases, and each phase lasts 12 months.
This means the full programme runs over three years, but each year gives you a recognised qualification that you can use even if you do not continue to the next phase.
