About this role

PROVINCIAL ADMINISTRATION: EASTERN CAPE is currently recruiting for the position of INTERNSHIP PROGRAMME. Applications close on 10 July 2026.

This vacancy is part of the South African public service recruitment process governed by the Public Service Act and Public Service Regulations. All applicants are required to submit a fully completed Z83 form - the official application form prescribed by the Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA) - together with a detailed CV listing all previous employment with start and end dates. Certified copies of all qualifications and your South African identity document must be included. Faxed, emailed, or incomplete applications may be disqualified at the discretion of the appointing authority.

PROVINCIAL ADMINISTRATION: EASTERN CAPE is an equal opportunity employer. Candidates from previously disadvantaged groups, people with disabilities, and women are encouraged to apply in line with the department's employment equity targets. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted. If you have not heard back within 90 days of the closing date, consider your application unsuccessful.

About graduate, learnership, and internship opportunities

Graduate programmes, learnerships, and internships are critical entry points into the South African workforce for young people. The public sector runs a significant number of internship programmes through DPSA and SA Youth, typically offering 12 to 24 month placements with a monthly stipend. Private sector graduate programmes are more competitive, often accepting fewer than 5% of applicants, but offer structured development and frequently lead to permanent employment.

·Apply as early as possible. Many programmes close before their stated deadline once they reach capacity.

·Learnership stipends are set by the relevant SETA and are not negotiable, but the qualification you earn has real market value.

·For government internships, you will need a Z83 form even though you are applying for a temporary placement.

·Use your internship or learnership period to build a portfolio of work and professional references. These matter more than the programme name when you apply for permanent roles.
