We currently offer plumbing apprenticeships for 5 cohorts of 30 students per year, as well as various other artisan training products such as the MakersHub - an incubation hub that supports small businesses in their journey to growth, formalisation and stability. The Blulever team is growing fast, with many more opportunities for growth.
WHO ARE WE (YOU?)

We need open-minded, people-oriented, passionate, multi skilled, hardworking individuals to join the team and help us build the future of Africa.
