## Project Overview
This project was created to make it easier for people to discover possible learnership pathways and accredited training providers in South Africa.
Many people search for learnerships only when adverts are posted online. By that time, there are often many applicants competing for the same opportunity. This platform takes a different approach by helping users find accredited Skills Development Providers that are linked to the qualification or career path they are interested in.
The platform does not guarantee that a provider currently has an open learnership. Instead, it helps users find possible providers to contact directly.
Users can explore:
- Accredited Skills Development Providers
- Provinces and towns
- Career pathways
- Qualification titles
- NQF levels
- SETAs or Quality Partners
- Provider contact details
- Active accreditation records
- AI-assisted guidance through Gemma
