The Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) has announced an excellent internship opportunity for graduates through the ETDP-SETA Internship Programme. This programme aims to provide temporary employment for young graduates who have yet to secure permanent positions in the workforce.
The initiative is specifically designed to assist TUT graduates who have not yet benefited from any SETA/DHET project. If you are a TUT graduate eager to gain valuable workplace experience, this opportunity could be your stepping stone to a brighter future.
Programme Overview
The ETDP-SETA Internship Programme is a 24-month contract aimed at providing temporary support within various departments at TUT, specifically at the Pretoria Campus. The focus is to assist in administration and operations where additional support is needed. In addition to offering temporary employment, the programme is a great platform for unemployed graduates to gain hands-on experience that will improve their employability and enhance their career prospects.
Key Performance Areas
Interns participating in this programme will be involved in various core administrative tasks and operations. These responsibilities include supporting the departments that require additional assistance on a temporary basis. Interns will gain practical experience in workplace environments that will equip them with the skills necessary for future employment opportunities.
Another key aspect of this internship is the workplace experience it offers to unemployed graduates. This experience will provide valuable exposure to real-world tasks and professional environments, which will enhance interns’ resumes and increase their chances of securing full-time employment after completing the internship.
