Requirements:
To ensure that participants are well-positioned for success and can fully benefit from this intensive program, a set of specific criteria has been established. Prospective apprentices are kindly requested to review these requirements carefully before submitting their application:
- Geographic Flexibility: A key component of this program involves potential placements in various operational hubs. Therefore, you must demonstrate a willingness and ability to work in either Ermelo or Dennilton, depending on the program’s allocation and operational needs. This flexibility is crucial for gaining diverse work experience within AVBOB’s extensive network.
- Educational Foundation: A solid academic background is essential. Applicants must possess a valid South African National Senior Certificate (high school diploma) or an equivalent qualification. Furthermore, your academic transcript must include a pass in English, demonstrating proficiency in written and verbal communication, which is vital in the insurance industry. In addition to English, you must have successfully completed either Mathematics, Mathematical Literacy, or Accounting. These subjects are crucial for understanding financial concepts and performing quantitative tasks inherent to long-term insurance.
- Age Demographics: This program is specifically targeted at young, aspiring professionals. Therefore, applicants must fall within the age bracket of 18 to 35 years old at the time of application. This ensures that the program supports youth development and provides opportunities for individuals embarking on their career journeys.
- Prior Apprenticeship Experience: To ensure fair access and provide opportunities to new entrants into the workforce, candidates who have previously completed any other formal apprenticeship programs will unfortunately not be eligible for this intake. This allows AVBOB and INSETA to focus on empowering individuals who are new to the apprenticeship model.
- Current Educational/Training Status: This apprenticeship requires full-time commitment and dedication. Consequently, applicants should not be currently enrolled in any other formal educational institution, whether it be a university, college, or another vocational training program. The intention is for this apprenticeship to be your primary focus during its 12-month duration, allowing for complete immersion and maximum benefit.
- Interpersonal and Communication Skills: The insurance industry is inherently client-facing and relies heavily on effective communication. We are seeking individuals who possess excellent interpersonal skills, demonstrating an ability to engage confidently and empathetically with a diverse range of people. Strong verbal communication is paramount for explaining complex insurance products and building rapport with clients and colleagues alike.
- Digital Literacy (Advantageous but not Mandatory): While not an absolute prerequisite, a foundational understanding and proficiency in using basic computer applications will be highly advantageous. This includes familiarity with Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), efficient use of email for professional correspondence, and navigating the internet for research and information gathering. Training will be provided, but prior exposure will accelerate your learning curve.
- Initiative and Independence: Successful apprentices are those who demonstrate a proactive approach to their work. We are looking for individuals who can work effectively both independently and as part of a team, and who possess the ability to take initiative and commence tasks without constant supervision. This self-starter mentality is highly valued and indicative of future leadership potential.
- Citizenship: To comply with South African labor regulations and to focus on national skills development, all applicants must be citizens of the Republic of South Africa. Proof of South African citizenship will be required during the application and onboarding process.
