A graduate programme is a structured entry-level pathway for recent graduates, usually combining formal training, mentorship, and on-the-job rotations.

These programmes help you build practical experience quickly and can lead to permanent roles in areas like finance, engineering, IT, and operations.

An internship is a short-term opportunity designed to give students or graduates practical workplace exposure.

Internships can be paid or unpaid, often run for a fixed period, and are useful for building skills, work history, and professional networks.

A learnership combines structured academic learning with real workplace experience and is usually aligned to a registered qualification.

In South Africa, learnerships are often supported by employers and SETAs, and they are aimed at improving employability and industry readiness.

To apply, search for a suitable opportunity, open the job detail page, and carefully review the requirements, closing date, and application instructions.

Prepare your CV and supporting documents in advance, then submit through the official link provided on the listing before the deadline.

Opening dates vary by employer, but many graduate programmes are published in mid-year and year-end recruitment windows.

Because timelines differ across sectors, it is best to check listings regularly and apply as early as possible once a role opens.
