FLSmidth is recruiting young candidates for a Business Administration Learner Programme in Gauteng. The FLSmidth Business Administration Learnership 2026 combines formal learning with workplace exposure and leads toward an Occupational Certificate in Business Administration. The programme is aimed at Grade 12 candidates who passed Mathematics and English at the required level and meet the age criteria. Learners may gain experience across commercial, finance, operations, field services and general administration, giving the programme a broader view of how administrative work supports a large engineering and technology organisation.
FLSmidth Learnership Overview
- Organisation: FLSmidth
- Programme: Business Administration Learner
- Qualification: Occupational Certificate in Business Administration
- Employment Type: Full Time
- Locations: 4 Gauteng locations
- Requisition: R30796
- Closing Date: 28 August 2026
Learning and Workplace Experience
The programme combines occupational learning with practical experience in the business. FLSmidth indicates that learners may be exposed to commercial, financial, operational, field-service and administrative departments. This helps participants understand that business administration is not limited to one type of office task; administrative processes support customer activity, finance, operations, technical services and internal coordination across the organisation.
The learning components are aligned with the curriculum requirements of the Quality Council for Trades and Occupations. Successful participation therefore combines the requirements of the occupational programme with workplace learning, allowing learners to build practical understanding while working toward a recognised Business Administration qualification.
Minimum Requirements
- Grade 12 / Matric.
- Mathematics is required; Mathematical Literacy is not accepted.
- English is required.
- Minimum Level 3 pass, equivalent to 40% or higher, in the required subjects.
- Applicants must not be older than 26 years.
- Ability to speak, read and write English.
- Good numerical ability.
Business Areas Learners May Encounter
- Commercial departments
- Finance
- Operations
- Field services
- General business administration
Exposure across these areas can help a learner understand how documents, information, service activity and financial or operational processes move through a business. A learner placed in a commercial function may see different administrative needs from someone supporting finance or field services, but the shared foundation is accurate administration and participation in the formal learning programme.
Location
The vacancy is advertised across four locations in Gauteng. The official recruitment listing identifies the programme as a multi-location opportunity rather than a single-site placement, so final workplace exposure may depend on the location and business area assigned through the recruitment process.
Application Documents
The vacancy asks external applicants to provide a CV together with copies of their qualifications and South African ID. These documents form part of the application information for the learner programme and should be submitted through the employer’s recruitment system in the requested format.
Qualification Outcome
The formal learning route leads toward an Occupational Certificate in Business Administration. This gives the programme a defined qualification outcome alongside workplace exposure. The combination is relevant to young candidates who want an entry route into administration while developing practical experience inside a large organisation.
