The benefits of hosting a learner are clear: you can reduce staffing costs by up to 80%, boost your B-BBEE score, and build a pipeline of new talent. But for a busy business owner, the question is often, "How much work is this going to be for me?"
At White Paper Systems, our answer is: very little. We have designed our service to be a complete, end-to-end solution that handles all the complexity for you. Our refined, four-step process ensures a seamless experience from start to finish.
Step 1: Consultation & Needs Analysis
The journey begins with a simple conversation. We arrange a free consultation to get a deep understanding of your business. We’ll discuss your specific operational needs, the roles you need to fill, your industry requirements, and your B-BBEE compliance targets. This allows us to create a tailored strategy that delivers measurable results for your company.
Step 2: Candidate Sourcing & Matching
This is where we take the entire burden of recruitment off your shoulders. We access our pool of pre-screened learners who are already enrolled in accredited learnership programs relevant to your sector. After carefully vetting them for skills, attitude, and fit, we present you with a shortlist of the most suitable profiles for you to select from. You get the final say on who joins your team.
Step 3: Seamless Placement & Onboarding
Once you’ve selected your candidate, the placement begins. The learner joins your team for a period of 6 to 12 months, where they gain invaluable hands-on experience while contributing directly to your business operations. We facilitate the onboarding process to ensure a smooth transition into their new role.
Step 4: Full-Service Management & Reporting
Our partnership doesn’t end once the learner is placed. Throughout the entire learnership period, we provide complete, full-service management so you can focus on your core business. This includes:
Handling all contracts and SETA registration.
Providing ongoing learner support and issue resolution.
Managing monthly progress tracking.
Compiling all necessary compliance documentation for your B-BBEE verification.
