The Johannesburg-based company has taken on board two internship candidates who have just begun their two year study program to acquire a SAQA approved National Diploma in Payroll Administration.
Martin Phike and Sabelo Mazibuko embarked on the apprenticeship program in February and once they have completed their studies, they will go through a third workplace experiential year during which they are given the opportunity to put their skills into practice.
“This rotation policy ensures that each candidate benefits from a comprehensive and real experience of the payroll environment,” says Teryl Schroenn, Accsys CEO. “We believe the merit and value of this initiative lies in the fact that interns gain sound theoretical knowledge of the industry and then the opportunity to reinforce this through practical application in the workplace.”
“There is a skills shortage within the payroll administration market and our viewpoint is that by placing candidates directly in the payroll environment and offering them hands-on training, they represent a skilled resource for businesses looking to hire,” she adds.
