About the Building Company W&RSETA Learnerships 2026
The Building Company runs stores across South Africa and partners with the Wholesale and Retail Sector Education and Training Authority (W&RSETA).

- Follow store rules, safety guidelines, and standard procedures.
- Keep a logbook of your work hours and experiences.
