The National Rural Youth Service Corps (NARYSEC) [https://www.dalrrd.gov.za/index.php/core-business/rural-development/narysec/narysec-skills-development&ved=2ahUKEwjQ2LTgkf-TAxVz2gIHHWDtEggQFnoECAUQAg&usg=AOvVaw0YODfGa0vEiPatChioJkk1] is a 24-month South African skills development programme, managed by the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform. It empowers unemployed rural youth (aged 18–35) through training, character building, and community service, transforming them into "job creators" in construction, agriculture, and other fields.
Key Aspects of NARYSEC:
Target Audience: Unemployed youth from rural, poor areas with a Grade 12 certificate.
Goal: To reduce rural unemployment and poverty, fostering economic participation in line with the Comprehensive Rural Development Programme (CRDP) .
Programme Structure: Includes a 9-week compulsory youth leadership development programme (YLDP), followed by technical and vocational training, such as construction, agriculture, welding, and records management.
Stipend: Participants receive a monthly stipend (approximately R1320 in past cycles) during the training period.
Outcome: Graduates are expected to give back to their communities and are linked to economic opportunities to prevent social grant dependency.
How to Apply:Recruitment is typically done through local municipal offices or specific government advertisements. Applicants often need to submit a form that requires a signature from a ward councillor, traditional leader, or pastor.
Important Notes:
Background: The program does not allow applicants with criminal records, and applicants must not be pregnant upon intake.
Intakes: The program periodically opens for new intakes, often featuring multiple cohorts within a financial year.
