So, Plennegy’s been around the block in South Africa’s business world, right? And they’re still at it—keeping the wheels turning with these Freight Handling Learnerships for 2025/2026. All this is rolling through their sidekick, Triton Express. Basically, if you’re looking to muscle your way into the logistics scene, this is a legit door to kick open. They’re not just handing out training certificates for show, either. The program is all about giving young folks the actual skills the country needs in transport and logistics—stuff that matters when you’re trying to land a gig.
Triton Academy is looking for motivated and committed individuals to join their 12-month National Certificate: Freight Handling Learnership, aimed at empowering unemployed South African youth through structured training and hands-on experience in the logistics industry.
🌟 So, why bother with this learnership? Honestly? Logistics is blowing up in South Africa. If you want your foot in the door, this is how you do it.
They don’t just stick you in a classroom and call it a day. You actually get thrown into the real-deal, day-to-day grind—a whole lot better than just staring at a textbook.
You walk out with a nationally recognized qual. That means your CV’s gonna look a whole lot shinier when you send it out.
And yeah, they hammer in the serious stuff—safety, rules, and not dropping heavy boxes on your foot. All the stuff you need to not get fired (or sued).
💡 Want in? Here’s the lowdown: Don’t snooze. These spots fill up fast, so get your name in early.
Sort your papers out—Matric or NQF proof, your ID, spotless record, and proof you can actually get to work (no “my dog ate my bus ticket” excuses).
Show them you’re not afraid of a little sweat. Logistics isn’t a desk job, so be ready for shifts, heavy lifting, and sticking to safety like glue.
Don’t be precious about your location. Triton’s all over the map, so if you can move around, your odds get better.
