Improving diversity in order to have a more represented workforce and recognising the necessity of giving chances to people with special needs in their fight against unemployment. Sanlam’s goal has always been to give people hope so they can live their lives with confidence and to assist them in becoming economically productive citizens. The lack of suitably qualified candidates has always been a challenge.
Learnerships are a crucial tool for assisting these individuals in their transformational journeys and achieving a diverse workforce. Sanlam partnered with Impactful Specialist Solutions (ISS) in 2017 to assist them with facilitating Learnership programmes on their behalf.
Typically, the process begins with the end in mind, finding actual openings in businesses where people may be hired full-time. Candidates are selected according to job description, specific competencies, skills and knowledge – in collaboration with a recruiting specialist for people with special needs.
Numeracy and literacy assessments are done before candidates are shortlisted for interviews. Following that, these individuals are trained in the financial services field. They receive a recognised qualification as well as important professional experience when they complete the program.
