<p><strong>Last updated:</strong> 28 February 2026</p>



<p>At RSALearnership.co.za, our goal is to publish <strong>clear, accurate, and practical</strong> guidance about South African learnerships, internships, bursaries, and entry-level jobs—so readers can understand eligibility, documents needed, and the safest way to apply.</p>



<p>This Editorial Policy explains <strong>how we create, review, update, and correct</strong> content on this site.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1) What we publish (and what we don’t)</h3>



<p><strong>We publish:</strong></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Learnership, internship, apprenticeship, bursary and entry-level job guides</li>



<li>Application checklists (documents, steps, closing dates when available)</li>



<li>Scam-prevention warnings and safety tips</li>



<li>Career-readiness resources (CV tips, interview prep, workplace basics)</li>
</ul>



<p><strong>We don’t publish:</strong></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>“Guaranteed placement” promises</li>



<li>Paid application services that ask for money to apply</li>



<li>Fake listings or “apply via WhatsApp” shortcuts</li>



<li>Personal data requests beyond what an official employer/SETA would normally ask for</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2) Our sourcing standards</h3>



<p>We aim to base each opportunity and guide on <strong>reliable sources</strong>, such as:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The employer’s official careers page / official communication</li>



<li>Official SETA pages and recognised institutions</li>



<li>Government or public-sector portals (when relevant)</li>



<li>Direct announcements from verified company channels</li>
</ul>



<p>When we cannot confirm a detail (e.g., stipend amount, exact closing date), we clearly label it as <strong>“Not stated by the employer/source”</strong> rather than guessing.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3) Verification and accuracy checks</h3>



<p>Before publishing, we try to confirm:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The <strong>employer/organisation name</strong> and the nature of the opportunity</li>



<li>Basic <strong>eligibility</strong> (age, location, qualification level, citizenship/residency if required)</li>



<li>The <strong>official application method</strong> (link/email/portal) and what applicants must prepare</li>



<li>Common scam signals (fees, suspicious domains, unclear contact details)</li>
</ul>



<p>If a post includes instructions, we write them in a <strong>step-by-step</strong> format so readers can follow the official method.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">4) Updates, freshness, and time-sensitive content</h3>



<p>Opportunities can change quickly. When possible, we update posts to reflect:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Closing date changes</li>



<li>Updated application links/portals</li>



<li>New requirements or documents requested</li>



<li>Whether an intake appears closed or inactive</li>
</ul>



<p>We may add a “Last updated” line in posts. However, <strong>always verify directly with the official employer/portal</strong> before applying.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">5) Corrections policy</h3>



<p>If we publish something incorrect (e.g., a broken link, wrong date, missing requirement), we aim to correct it as soon as possible.</p>



<p><strong>How we handle corrections:</strong></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>We fix the content and, when appropriate, add a short note such as:<br><em>“Correction (date): Updated closing date / corrected application link.”</em></li>



<li>If a listing appears unsafe or misleading, we may remove it or replace it with a safety notice.</li>
</ul>



<p>To report an issue, email us via our Contact page and include:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The page URL</li>



<li>What seems wrong</li>



<li>A source or screenshot (if possible)</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">6) Editorial independence and advertising</h3>



<p>We aim to keep our content <strong>independent</strong>. If advertising is displayed (including through Google services such as AdSense), ads do not influence our editorial decisions. We do not accept payments to publish “guaranteed” job placements.</p>



<p>If we publish any sponsored content in the future, it will be <strong>clearly labelled</strong> as sponsored/paid. (<a href="https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/9982767?hl=en&;utm_source=chatgpt.com">Google Help</a>)</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">7) Affiliate links (if used)</h3>



<p>If we ever use affiliate links (for example, to a course provider), we will:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Disclose it clearly on the page</li>



<li>Recommend only products/services we believe are useful for job seekers</li>



<li>Never link affiliate offers as a “requirement” to apply for a job/learnership</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">8) User-generated content (comments)</h3>



<p>If comments are enabled, we moderate them. Spam, promotional links, hate, harassment, or misleading “application” instructions will be removed.</p>



<p>We do this because publishers are responsible for user-generated content on pages where ads appear. (<a href="https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/1355699?hl=en&;utm_source=chatgpt.com">Google Help</a>)</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">9) How content is produced (including AI tools)</h3>



<p>We may use tools (including AI) to help with formatting, summaries, or drafting. Regardless of tools used, we aim to ensure every post is:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Helpful and people-first</li>



<li>Clear about “who wrote it” and “how it was created”</li>



<li>Reviewed for accuracy, safety, and clarity before publishing (<a href="https://developers.google.com/search/docs/fundamentals/creating-helpful-content?utm_source=chatgpt.com">Google for Developers</a>)</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">10) Contact</h3>
