Tolcon Group, through Northern Electrical Projects (NEP), invites suitably qualified applicants to apply for their Project Management Learnership Programme based in Ferndale, Randburg. The closing date for applications is 8 October. If you are a motivated individual who has completed Grade 12 and wants to gain real workplace experience in the field of project management, then this could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
This learnership is designed to give you hands-on exposure to construction and electrical project workflows while learning from experienced professionals. It’s not just a training programme – it’s the beginning of a career path where you can develop valuable skills and grow within the industry.
Why This Learnership Stands Out
Project management is one of the most in-demand skills today. From planning and organizing tasks to ensuring projects are completed on time and within budget, it plays a vital role in every successful company. The Tolcon Group learnership gives you the chance to learn these skills directly from experts in the industry.
Instead of just sitting in a classroom, you will be placed in a real business environment where you’ll handle tasks that matter. This means by the end of the programme, you won’t just have theoretical knowledge – you’ll have actual workplace experience that sets you apart from others.
Minimum Qualifications and Skills
To be considered for this learnership, you must meet the following requirements:
- A Grade 12 certificate.
- Strong communication skills – both spoken and written.
- Excellent administrative and organizational abilities.
- A detail-oriented personality with the ability to plan and prioritize.
- Good time management and interpersonal skills.
- Self-motivated and able to manage your own tasks effectively.
- High levels of trustworthiness and ethical behavior.
- Ability to maintain confidentiality when handling sensitive information.
- Willingness to learn and acquire new skills quickly.
These qualities are essential because project management requires both precision and people skills. You will often deal with financial information, suppliers, managers, and clients, so professionalism is key.
What You Will Learn and Do
The learnership will expose you to different areas of project management within the construction and electrical industries. Some of your key responsibilities will include:
- Tracking the progress of projects and updating internal systems.

- Maintaining digital filing systems to ensure all data is accurate and up to date.
- Attending internal project meetings and taking minutes when required.
- Shadowing senior staff members to gain first-hand exposure to construction project workflows.
- Supporting the management team with additional tasks when needed.
This variety of tasks ensures that you will gain a broad understanding of what it takes to successfully run a project from start to finish.
Why You Should Apply

- Gain practical experience in the growing construction and electrical sectors.
- Develop highly sought-after project management and administrative skills.
