Volkswagen Group South Africa Apprenticeship Programme 2027

CHIETA Administration Support Intern Vacancy for Unemployed Graduates

The Chemical Industries Education and Training Authority (CHIETA) has opened its Administration Support Internship at its Western Cape Regional Office, and for graduates wanting a genuinely long, stable stretch of paid workplace experience rather than a short-term placement, this 24-month programme is well worth serious consideration.

• Closing Date: 14 September 2026 at 16:30
• Location: Western Cape Regional Office, South Africa
• Salary/Stipend: R7,000 per month for the full 24-month duration

Job Overview

Reference number AWC2026/002, this internship sits within CHIETA’s Grants, Projects & Regions business unit, with only one position available for this specific intake. The programme is designed to give graduates genuine, practical workplace exposure in an administrative environment, while also building professional skills that extend well beyond basic office tasks. A 24-month duration is notably longer than many other graduate internships on the market, giving successful applicants real time to build depth and confidence in the role rather than just scratching the surface.

Job Description

The Administration Support Intern will provide day-to-day administrative support within CHIETA’s regional operations, working closely with staff across the Grants, Projects & Regions unit. Expect a genuinely varied administrative workload, since SETA regional offices coordinate closely with employers, training providers, and internal departments, meaning the intern is likely to be exposed to a real cross-section of how skills development funding and projects are actually managed on the ground.

Key Duties and Responsibilities

• Provide general administrative support to the Grants, Projects & Regions business unit
• Assist with document control, filing, and information storage processes
• Support the coordination of regional office administrative functions
• Assist with correspondence and communication tasks as required
• Support internal reporting and data-handling processes tied to grants and projects administration
• Help maintain accurate, up-to-date records relevant to regional operations
• Take on additional ad hoc administrative tasks as reasonably required by the team

Requirements and Qualifications

To be eligible for this internship, applicants must meet the following criteria:

• Reside in the Western Cape Province
• No prior work experience required
• Genuine willingness to plan, prioritise work, meet deadlines, and work independently
• Strong administrative aptitude, even if built through academic or informal experience

Applicants should be ready to submit the following documents alongside their application: an updated CV, certified copies of qualifications, a certified copy of their ID document, and academic transcripts. Applications missing any of these are unlikely to be considered, so it’s worth gathering everything before submitting.

Skills and Competencies

CHIETA has been fairly specific about the personal qualities it looks for in interns across its various regional offices. Traits that genuinely matter here include:

• Strong planning and organisational skills
• Good verbal and written communication ability
• Sound problem-solving skills
• Professionalism, confidentiality, ethics, and integrity
• Genuine teamwork and collaborative instincts
• Careful attention to detail
• Diversity awareness
• Innovative, forward-thinking approach to tasks

Why This Internship Is Worth Considering

For Western Cape graduates who’ve struggled to find that first real foothold in the job market, a 24-month, stipend-paid internship solves a genuinely practical problem. Unlike shorter 6 or 12-month placements, two full years of workplace exposure gives an intern real time to build confidence, take on more responsibility over time, and walk away with a genuinely substantial period of verifiable experience on their CV. Administrative and project-support skills built within a SETA environment also carry weight beyond CHIETA itself, since grants administration, stakeholder coordination, and document control are transferable across almost any sector, whether a career continues in skills development or moves into broader corporate administration.

About CHIETA

The Chemical Industries Education and Training Authority (CHIETA) is a statutory body established under the Skills Development Act 97 of 1998, forming part of South Africa’s broader network of Sector Education and Training Authorities (SETAs). CHIETA’s core purpose is to facilitate skills development within the chemical industries sector, ensuring that skills needs across the industry are properly identified and addressed through a range of structured initiatives.

CHIETA’s mandate spans the chemicals, polymers, plastics, pharmaceuticals, and related green technology sub-sectors, working closely with employers, training providers, and government stakeholders to build a skilled, competitive workforce across these fast-evolving industries. Beyond funding formal training programmes, CHIETA runs a consistent pipeline of internships, learnerships, and bursaries aimed at giving young South Africans genuine, practical pathways into employment, with current opportunities spanning administrative, ICT, skills advisory, grants, and project management functions across its various regional offices.

As a responsible party under South Africa’s Protection of Personal Information Act (POPI Act) of 2013, CHIETA takes information security seriously throughout its recruitment processes, and applicants should note that CHIETA never requests payment at any stage of its application, testing, or assessment processes. For Western Cape graduates looking to build a substantial, structured foundation in administration and skills development, CHIETA’s Administration Support Internship offers a genuinely credible route into the world of work.

How to Apply

Before applying, make sure your CV is updated and accurately reflects any administrative experience or coursework relevant to the role. Gather certified copies of your qualifications, your ID document, and your academic transcripts, since incomplete applications will not be considered. Submit your complete application package before the 14 September 2026 deadline at 16:30, and note that late applications will not be accepted under any circumstances. If you haven’t heard back within a reasonable period after the closing date, you should consider your application unsuccessful, as CHIETA limits correspondence to shortlisted candidates only. Successful applicants will also be subject to background checks and required assessments.

SABC Internship Opportunities: x87 Positions Available Countrywide

SABC Internship Opportunities: x87 Positions Available Countrywide

SABC Internship Opportunities: 87 Positions Available Countrywide are giving young South Africans an opportunity to gain practical workplace experience at one of the country’s most recognised public broadcasting organisations. The 2026 SABC Internship Programme is open to applicants interested in fields ranging from journalism and media to technology, finance, marketing, communications, legal services and other related areas.

The South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) has announced that its 2026 Internship Programme is being offered in partnership with MICTSETA. According to the SABC’s official announcement, applications opened on 3 September 2026 and close on 10 September 2026.

For graduates who have completed their qualifications but are struggling to secure their first opportunity, the SABC internship intake could provide an important route into the workplace. The opportunities are not limited to journalism or broadcasting, meaning graduates from several academic backgrounds may find positions aligned with their studies.

SABC Internship Opportunities 2026 – Quick Details

• Opportunity: SABC Internship Programme 2026
• Positions: 87 positions available countrywide
• Organisation: South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC)
• Programme: Internship / Graduate Opportunities
• Locations: Various locations across South Africa
• Applications Open: 3 September 2026
• Closing Date: 10 September 2026
• Duration: Several advertised internship opportunities are structured as 12-month programmes
• Salary/Stipend: Not stated as a single amount for the overall internship intake
• Application Method: Online through the SABC careers platform. See application link at the end of this post.

The SABC’s recruitment information shows that individual internships have their own requisition numbers, locations and qualification requirements. Applicants should therefore read the details of the specific opportunity they intend to apply for before submitting an application.

Job Overview

The SABC Internship Programme 2026 covers a broad selection of departments and professional areas. Current vacancy information includes opportunities linked to technology, television and media, finance, internal audit, communications, journalism, legal services, governance and risk, digital marketing, marketing and other business functions.

This makes the programme relevant to more than media students. Graduates with qualifications in areas such as finance, administration, information technology, communications, marketing, engineering and other disciplines should check the individual vacancies to determine whether they meet the requirements.

Some advertised opportunities are based at the SABC’s Auckland Park operations in Gauteng, while other positions are available in different regions and cities. Current vacancy information also points to opportunities in locations including Durban, Bloemfontein and other parts of the country.

Job Description

The exact job description depends on the internship selected by the applicant. Because the SABC internship intake contains multiple positions, successful interns may be placed in different departments and expected to support the work of particular teams. Examples from the current vacancy information include assisting with programming, digital media, administration, technical operations, video entertainment, finance, radio and other organisational functions.

One example is the Digital Assistant role within Radio, where the advertised purpose includes supporting digital properties, coordinating digital campaigns and working with programming and marketing teams. Other internships have responsibilities connected to scheduling, programming assistance, video archives, technical support and administration.

Applicants should therefore avoid assuming that every SABC internship has the same duties. The responsibilities will depend on the specific position and department.

Duties and Responsibilities

Depending on the position, SABC interns may be expected to:

• Support departmental projects and daily activities.
• Assist professional teams with administrative or operational tasks.
• Contribute to projects linked to the intern’s field of study.
• Prepare, organise and maintain information and documentation.
• Assist with digital, media, technical or business-related activities.
• Work with internal teams and stakeholders.
• Follow relevant policies, procedures and workplace standards.
• Complete assigned tasks within agreed deadlines.
• Participate in projects designed to provide practical workplace exposure.
• Develop professional skills while gaining experience in a working environment.

For example, one current SABC internship advertisement describes the programme as providing interns with an opportunity to work with internal clients and teams while addressing business problems and identifying areas of growth.

Requirements

Requirements differ from one SABC internship to another.

Applicants should carefully check the individual vacancy before applying because the required qualification, NQF level, technical knowledge and other criteria are not identical across all positions.

Examples of requirements appearing in the current SABC internship information include National Diplomas or Degrees in relevant fields. Some positions require qualifications related to media studies, communications, administration, broadcasting, information science, technology or other specialised disciplines.

Applicants should generally make sure that:

• Their qualification matches the field specified for the vacancy.
• They meet the stated NQF or qualification requirement.
• They have the technical or computer skills required for the position.
• They can communicate effectively in writing and verbally.
• They are able to work independently and as part of a team.
• They can follow instructions and organisational procedures.
• They are prepared to work in the location specified by the vacancy.

Meeting the minimum requirements does not necessarily guarantee selection. Applicants should submit accurate information and ensure that their application is relevant to the specific internship.

Skills and Competencies

The skills required will depend on the selected internship, but current SABC vacancy information highlights qualities such as communication, organisation, computer literacy, teamwork, attention to detail, planning and the ability to work under pressure.

For media and broadcasting-related opportunities, applicants may also need an interest in current affairs, digital platforms, broadcasting, content, production or communications.

For technology and technical positions, relevant technical knowledge and qualifications may be important.

Graduates applying for finance, administration, legal, marketing or other corporate opportunities should similarly demonstrate skills relevant to their particular field.

Who Can Apply?

The SABC internship opportunities are primarily aimed at young South Africans seeking practical workplace exposure after completing relevant studies.

The programme may be particularly relevant to:

• Unemployed graduates looking for their first professional opportunity.
• Young South Africans seeking workplace experience.
• Graduates who want to build industry-specific skills.
• Candidates interested in media, broadcasting and communications.
• Technology and IT graduates.
• Finance and accounting graduates.
• Marketing and digital media graduates.
• Graduates interested in administration, legal services and related corporate functions.

Applicants should remember that eligibility varies according to the individual vacancy. The qualification and other requirements listed for the chosen position should always take priority.

Why Consider an SABC Internship?

An internship can be an important stepping stone between academic study and employment.

For graduates, practical workplace exposure can help bridge the gap between classroom knowledge and professional responsibilities. Working within a large organisation can also introduce interns to workplace systems, professional communication, teamwork, deadlines and industry expectations.

The SABC’s own annual reporting has described its internship programme as part of its approach to developing new talent, with interns recruited across the organisation and supported through mentoring and coaching.

For someone trying to establish a career in media, technology, finance, administration or another professional field, this type of exposure can be valuable when building a CV and developing practical confidence.

Application Deadline

The official SABC announcement states that applications for the 2026 Internship Programme opened on 3 September 2026 and close on 10 September 2026.

Because the closing date is close, prospective applicants should avoid waiting until the final day. It is advisable to identify the correct internship, check its requirements, prepare the necessary information and submit the application through the official recruitment process.

About the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC)

The South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) is South Africa’s national public broadcaster, providing television, radio and digital content to audiences across the country.

MISA Apprenticeship and Experiential Learnership Skills Development Programme 2026/2027

20,000 Services SETA Internship Opportunities for Unemployed Graduates: To The Power of X²

Closing Date: Registration remains open; no specific closing date is stated in the latest official announcement.
Location: Nationwide – South Africa
Salary/Stipend: An approved graduate stipend is funded by Services SETA; the official announcement does not state a specific amount.
Programme Duration: 24 months
Opportunities: 20,000 structured internships

To The Power of X² Services SETA Internship Program

To The Power of X² is a national Services SETA initiative aimed at creating 20,000 structured, 24-month internship opportunities for eligible unemployed graduates across South Africa.

For young South Africans who have completed their studies but are finding it difficult to secure that all-important first opportunity, the programme could provide a valuable bridge between academic qualifications and practical workplace experience.

The initiative connects graduates with approved workplace opportunities in both the public and private sectors. Successful participants can gain practical skills, professional exposure, workplace experience and mentorship while building a stronger foundation for future employment.

Job Overview

The To The Power of X² programme is not a single job vacancy with one fixed job title. Instead, it is a large-scale graduate internship programme that matches eligible graduates with approved workplace opportunities.

Matching can take into account a graduate’s qualification, field of study, location, employer requirements and available placement capacity.

The first cohort is expected to begin from September 2026, with placements increasing as additional workplaces are approved and suitable graduate-employer matches are completed. 

Who Can Apply to the Services SETA Internship?

The programme is aimed at eligible unemployed graduates in South Africa. Services SETA’s earlier programme information indicates that graduates in the talent pool include university and TVET graduates with qualifications ranging from NQF Level 4 to Level 7, with verified supporting documentation.

Applicants should therefore ensure that their personal information, qualifications and supporting documents are accurate and ready for verification.

Registration does not automatically mean that a graduate will receive an internship. Placement depends on programme eligibility, the availability of suitable approved workplace opportunities and successful matching with host-employer requirements.

Requirements

While the exact requirements can vary according to the workplace opportunity, prospective applicants should be prepared to provide:

• A valid personal profile and contact information.
• Proof of relevant qualifications or academic records.
• Clear and legible supporting documentation requested during registration.
• Information about the graduate’s field of study and workplace interests.
• Accurate provincial or location information for matching purposes.
• Any additional information required by the official registration platform.

Graduates should take care when uploading documents. Services SETA specifically advises that supporting documents must be clear, complete and legible to assist with verification. 

Duties and Workplace Experience

Because To The Power of X² covers graduates from different fields, the actual duties will depend on the host employer and the qualification of the successful participant.

Interns may be placed in workplaces where they can apply their academic knowledge, develop practical abilities and become familiar with professional working environments. The programme is designed around meaningful workplace experience rather than simply placing graduates into temporary positions.

Participants will receive workplace supervision and mentorship during the structured 24-month internship period. 

Skills and Competencies

The skills developed through the programme will naturally differ from one placement to another. However, graduate interns can expect workplace exposure that may help strengthen areas such as:

• Professional communication.
• Teamwork and collaboration.
• Problem-solving.
• Time management.
• Workplace administration.
• Digital and technical skills relevant to a particular field.
• Professional conduct and accountability.
• Applying theoretical knowledge to practical situations.

For a graduate with limited work experience, this type of exposure can make a meaningful difference when applying for future permanent or fixed-term employment.

What Makes This Opportunity Important?

Graduate unemployment remains a major challenge in South Africa, particularly for young people trying to enter the labour market for the first time.

To The Power of X² is designed to address part of that gap by giving qualified graduates access to structured workplace exposure. Services SETA has previously reported that more than 55,000 qualified university and TVET graduates had registered for the programme, while current funding supports 20,000 placements. 

The scale of the initiative makes it particularly significant for graduates who have qualifications but have struggled to obtain the experience often requested in entry-level vacancies.

How To The Power of X² Works

The programme follows a structured process rather than placing every person immediately after registration.

First, eligible graduates register their profiles and submit the required documentation. Employers then indicate the number of graduates they can host, their workplace locations and the qualifications or skills they require.

Workplaces must go through an approval process before placements can take place. This includes relevant Occupational Health and Safety and COIDA compliance requirements, as well as confirmation that the workplace can provide appropriate supervision and meaningful experience.

Once approved, graduate profiles can be matched with available opportunities. Successful matches then move into the structured internship programme. 

Stipend and Laptop Support

Services SETA states that the programme funds approved graduate stipends and provides a laptop for each placed participant.

The latest official announcement does not publish a specific rand amount for the stipend, so applicants should rely on official programme communication rather than unverified figures circulating on social media or job websites. 

About Services SETA

The Services Sector Education and Training Authority (Services SETA) is responsible for facilitating skills development within South Africa’s services sector. Its work includes supporting learning programmes such as learnerships, skills programmes, internships and other forms of workplace learning.

Services SETA provides funding through grants to employers and skills development providers to support training opportunities for employed and unemployed learners. The organisation also has responsibilities delegated by the Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO), including oversight of occupation-based training. 

Through initiatives such as To The Power of X², Services SETA is seeking to strengthen the connection between qualifications and practical workplace experience while helping more graduates move towards meaningful participation in the South African economy.

How to Apply

Graduate registration for To The Power of X² remains open according to the latest Services SETA announcement. Applicants should register their profiles through the official programme process and ensure that all required information and documents are accurate and legible.

It is important to remember that registration does not guarantee placement. Opportunities depend on eligibility, approved workplace availability and successful matching with host-employer requirements.
