A 24-month internship window closes on Thursday December 11 for 20,000 university and TVET graduates across all fields. The Services Seta’s PowerX² initiative offers 24-month workplace experience across SA, with expressions of interest open until December 11, 2025. The idea is to build talent pipelines and bridge the gap between education and employment for various qualification fields.
