Who is eligible to apply?

The vacancy targets young people who are currently unemployed and who meet the company’s age and education criteria.

Applicants must be between 18 and 25 years of age, with the advert also showing a provision for those turning 25 during 2027.

They must have passed Matric and have:

English and Mathematics; and

Business, Economics and Accounting as additional subjects.

Applicants must also be competent in speaking, reading and writing English.

There is also an important prohibition on applying for the vacancy. Candidates cannot be participating in another learnership when they apply and must not have participated in a learnership previously.

Matric results and ID are essential

It is important to highlight another requirement for the vacancy. Momentum states that applications submitted without an ID document and Matric results attached will not be considered.

Applicants are also asked to combine their supporting documents into one PDF before submitting the application.

This means that the jobseeker should prepare their application documents in advance of submitting the employment application, rather than waiting until the last moment.

What qualification will learners receive?

The vacancy involves a combination of learning and workplace experience.

Successful applicants will work towards an NQF Level 4 qualification in Long-term Insurance, which has been recognised by INSETA.

For a young person entering the financial-services industry, this can form an introduction to the insurance sector while allowing the learner to develop workplace skills at the same time.

Momentum highlights some possible career paths associated with the learnership. These include:

  • Pension Fund Administrator
  • Client Service Administrator
  • Service Consultant

It is important to note, however, that Momentum explicitly states that completion of the learnership does not guarantee permanent employment.

What will the learner do?

The vacancy is centred around providing client service and administering client requests.

Internally, the learner will be responsible for being accountable for client-service processes and requests and ensuring that these are dealt with efficiently.

The vacancy also involves providing information and documentation when required, and adhering to relevant organisational procedures and compliance requirements.

Because the workplace belongs to a regulated financial-services environment, understanding the importance of compliance and adhering to the required procedures and processes will also be an important part of the learnership.

Working with clients and stakeholders

The vacancy also involves working with clients and stakeholders.

Successful candidates will be expected to contribute to building and maintaining professional relationships and to operate within the agreed service levels.

This highlights the importance of communication skills. A candidate may have the required Matric subjects, but they must be able to demonstrate that they can communicate effectively, work with others and deal with client requests and processes responsibly.

Skills Momentum is looking for

The advert highlights other requirements that can be useful when applying for the vacancy.

These include:

  • Client service orientation
  • Teamwork
  • Time management
  • Attention to detail
  • Planning skills

The requirements are a useful reminder that this vacancy is not about simply obtaining a qualification, but about learning how to operate in a professional client-service environment.

Where will the learnership take place?

The vacancy is based in Gauteng, with Centurion and Sandton listed as the town/city.

The vacancy also indicates that the position is remote some of the time. Candidates should therefore check with the employer about the most up-to-date working arrangements before accepting any placement.

When does the programme start?

Momentum states that the learnership is scheduled to commence on 1 February 2027.

Successful applicants will be employed for 12 months and will receive a monthly stipend. The amount of the stipend was not stated in the information supplied, however, so they should not rely on numbers published by unofficial sources.

How to apply

Applicants should apply through the employer’s official careers/recruitment process and look for:

Client Service Administrator: Learnership (Gauteng)

Reference number: MMH260828-10

Before submitting the application, candidates should confirm that their ID document and Matric results have been attached and that all supporting documents have been combined into one PDF, as required by the advert.

The information supplied does not mention a closing date. As a result, applicants should check the official vacancy page for the latest information about the application status rather than assuming that a closing date has been set.

Momentum also advises applicants to confirm the authenticity of the vacancy on its company career page.

Why this opportunity may matter to young jobseekers

For a young person who has completed Matric but who has not yet entered the formal workplace, a 12-month learnership can give them something that is difficult to demonstrate on a CV: actual workplace experience.

This particular vacancy focuses on providing experience in a specific industry – long-term insurance – rather than general work exposure.

Candidates who are considering a career in insurance, the financial industry, client administration and similar fields may find this particularly relevant.

At the same time, however, it is important for applicants to have realistic expectations. Completion of the learnership does not necessarily lead to permanent employment and selection for the vacancy is not guaranteed just because they meet the minimum requirements.

What applicants should do before applying

Young jobseekers can increase the quality of their application by checking the following before submitting their application:

  1. Confirm that they fall within the age range of between 18-25 and that they understand the provision for those turning 25 during 2027.
  2. Confirm that their Matric subjects comply with those mentioned in the advert.
  3. Confirm that their ID document is included.
  4. Confirm that their Matric results have been attached.
  5. Combine the required documents into one PDF.
  6. Confirm that they are not currently participating in another learnership.
  7. Confirm that they have not previously participated in a learnership.
  8. Confirm the vacancy through Momentum’s official recruitment channel.
  9. Confirm the latest closing date, as none was included in the supplied information.
