The Labour Activation Programme (LAP) is a flagship initiative aimed at tackling unemployment. As part of this programme, we are inviting individuals who have previously been employed in any field and have contributed to the UIF to apply. Through large‑scale skills training, entrepreneurship development, and job placement opportunities, LAP provides a pathway for both previously employed individuals who are now unemployed and unemployed youth to re‑enter the workforce. Benefits of Joining the LAP Workplace Experience: Gain hands‑on, real‑world experience in your chosen field through structured workplace placements. Monthly Stipend: Receive a stipend of R2,000 per month for the duration of your 3 to 6‑month placement. Mentorship & Support: Benefit from on‑site mentorship and guidance from experienced professionals, helping you develop practical skills and confidence. Career Pathways: Increase your chances of securing full‑time employment after your placement, as many host companies are actively looking to hire and build future talent pipelines. Skills Development: Participate in large‑scale skills training and entrepreneurship development, boosting your employability and career prospects.
