National Rural Youth Service Corps (NARYSEC) Programme 2024/2025
NATIONAL RURAL YOUTH SERVICE CORPS (NARYSEC) IN AGRI-PARKS IN SWELLENDAM MUNICIPALITY, SUURBRAAK
The National Rural Youth Service Corps (NARYSEC) is a skills development programme involving young people residing and making a living in rural settings. It is a long term programme of government which is facilitated, coordinated and implemented by the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform in partnership with other national, provincial and local structures. Its intention is to ensure maximum value is derived from the skills and knowledge systems of rural populations. In the end, the enhancement of skills and the development of complete transferable competencies will improve the economic conditions of rural communities and young people in particular.
NARYSEC falls within the Comprehensive Rural Development Programme (CRDP) of government and its emphasis is on community service, and meeting basic human needs which is Phase 1 of the CRDP. Over time, NARYSEC will seek to achieve the goal of creating enterprises in the rural settings that are self-managed and sustainable. In addition, NARYSEC seeks to inculcate a culture of responsible conduct, self-discipline, high moral values, personal confidence and national pride among young people residing in rural areas. NARYSEC aims to enhance skills development by providing unemployed rural youth with opportunities to work in their communities and to be trained to provide the necessary services for local socio-economic development.
All youth (men and women of all races and those with disabilities currently residing in rural communities) are invited to apply to participate in this 2 year programme.
Successful applicants will be required to be away from home for a period of about 4 months attending the National Youth Leadership Development Programme, and again be away from home for a period of about 12 months attending Skills Development Training at the pre-determined TVET Colleges to acquire SAQA accredited qualifications. This period includes class training at the College for about six months and work placement (practical) training also for about six months.
The programme focuses on community development and the successful participants will be required to perform community service in their local areas when the youth are not busy with training.
