OUTsurance OSS Learnership 2026 – R9 000 Stipend – Apply Now

OUTsurance has opened applications for its OSS Hastings Learnership Programme 2026, an 18-month opportunity based in Centurion, Gauteng, paying a monthly stipend of R9 000. The programme is aimed at unemployed South African youth aged 18 to 35 with a Matric certificate and no work experience. If you want to break into the insurance and financial services industry, this is one of the better-paying entry learnerships available right now – and applications close as soon as positions are filled, so apply immediately.

OUTsurance has been operating for 28 years and is one of South Africa’s best-known insurers, built on a model of combining innovative technology with customer-focused service. The company employs thousands of South Africans at its Centurion campus and has a track record of developing entry-level talent through structured programmes.

The OSS Hastings Learnership combines formal qualification training with real workplace experience in a contact centre environment. One weekday each week is dedicated to formal training towards a recognised qualification, while the rest of the roster is spent doing real work with real customers. For unemployed young people stuck in the no-experience trap, an 18-month contract at a major insurer builds exactly the employment history that future employers look for.

OUTsurance has not published a fixed closing date for the OSS Hastings Learnership 2026. Applications close as soon as all positions are filled, so submit your application as soon as possible.

Most entry-level learnerships in South Africa pay stipends of R3 000 to R5 000 per month. At R9 000, this OUTsurance programme pays nearly double the market norm while also delivering a formal qualification and 18 months of corporate experience at a household-name insurer.

Financial services is one of the few sectors that consistently hires young people into permanent roles from its own learnership pipelines, and the customer service, compliance and systems skills learned here transfer directly to banking, telecoms and retail. For a Matriculant with no experience, few opportunities offer this combination of income, training and career credibility.

No. The advert specifically requires no work experience, and you must have been unemployed during the previous six months.

Learners receive R9 000 per month for the 18-month duration of the programme.

The advert does not restrict applications by province, but the learnership is based in Centurion, so you must be able to work there if selected.

This is a fixed-term 18-month learnership agreement and permanent employment is not guaranteed, though completing it positions you strongly for roles in insurance and financial services.

Make sure your application stands out with these free tools:

You will maintain a portfolio of evidence documenting your practical experience and competencies, while meeting all assessment requirements set by the relevant SETA and adhering to workplace policies. Participants are expected to participate actively in both classroom and on-the-job learning activities, ensuring all programme requirements are met to achieve the nationally recognised qualification.

Candidates should be aged between 18 and 35 years and not currently employed or registered on another learnership programme. A strong commitment to completing the full duration of the programme and the ability to attend both theoretical training and workplace practical sessions.
