Help a learner - with fees, a workplace or a business

For people and organisations who want to back a learner: pay their fees, help with a stipend, give or find them a workplace, or fund the business they start.

What it is

What RMK does for you

Partner with RMK to grow South Africa's workforce. Your support opens accredited, job-ready training to more young people.

You post a funding offer for a qualification and a number of places; learners apply, and you choose.

How it is structured

Our approach

Fees

Fund places on a qualification through a funding offer on Opportunities.

A workplace

Host a learner at your business, or post a placement - see the Businesses page.

A business

Funding and stock for a learner's own business continue on Super Deal Maker and RMK Retail.
