South Africa National Rural Youth Service Corps (NARYSEC) recruitment 2023-2024

The National Rural Youth Service Corps (NARYSEC) Programme, which was established
in September 2010, is one of the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural
Development’s (DALRRD) contributions towards alleviating the high levels of unemployment
among young people in rural areas.

Linked to the National Development Plan (Vision 2030) and Comprehensive Rural Development Programme (CRDP), the primary objectives of the NARYSEC Programme are

as follows:

• Recruiting unemployed rural youth as part of the District Development Model and other
  approved government programmes and initiatives, working with provinces, the private
  sector, municipalities and local traditional councils;
• Building the capacity of rural youth through various skills development interventions;
• Facilitating the transitioning of the recruited youth to participate in economic activities;
  and
• Providing post-programme support to the youth who have exited the programme and
  linking them to economic opportunities.

The NARYSEC Programme is recruiting for 2023/2024. Intakes will be in August 2023 and
October 2023.

Skills development opportunities will be provided to unemployed rural youth. The nature
and duration of these skills development opportunities will be determined by the skills
requirements of the identified exit opportunities (jobs or enterprise development) that the
youth have been recruited for in a specific province and district municipality.

Selection criteria:

•  The programme targets unemployed rural youth aged 18 to 35 years old of all demographics.
•  Youth must be South African residents residing in rural area.
• The minimum required qualification is grade 9.
• Youth must be unemployed
• Youths with disabilities and females are encouraged to apply.
