Adcock Ingram Healthcare has been one of the most trusted and respected pharmaceutical and healthcare companies in South Africa. Because of this, the company continues to show its dedication to inclusivity, skills development, and transformation in the x30 Learners Learnership Programme. This opportunity has been created specifically for learners with disabilities to help gain valuable insight into a professional work environment and provide a potential entry point into the corporate world. This Programme is a positive step towards fulfilling the company’s vision and goals by incorporating inclusivity and positive transformation into its core operational strategy.

Objective of the Learnership
This Programme aims to provide Learners with Disabilities the granted opportunity to develop their theoretical and technical skills in a Work Integration Learning (WIL) Programme. This is to aid the learners in obtaining the foremost necessary skills, and competencies to get them ready to participate in and be a part of the corporate culture.
This Programme will last 12 months. This will also include placements at the various operational areas of Adcock Ingram. The placements will be organized in such a way that each learner will be given the chance to work in real-life corporate situations so that at the end of the programme comprehensive “real-life” experience is obtained. Each learner will be supported and guided in their work tasks, by individuals that are professionals. The learners will participate in the forefront of corporate activities, and this will occur in various locations of Adcock Ingram.
