eThekwini Graduate & TVET Internship 2026/2027

eThekwini Municipality in Durban is recruiting for its University and TVET Graduates Internship Programme 2026/2027, open to South African citizens with a recognised qualification across a wide range of fields including Finance, Administration, Engineering, IT, Law, Health Sciences, Environmental Science and Humanities.

TVET applicants need an N6 certificate for Work Integrated Learning placement, and the internship runs from 18 months (TVET) up to 24 months (graduates), with a stipend ranging from R2,795.03 to R8,494.87 per month. Applications close on 17 July 2026 and are accepted online only.

About This Opportunity

This programme accommodates both university graduates and TVET N6 candidates needing Work Integrated Learning, spanning a notably broad set of qualification fields. Applicants must be unemployed and must not have completed a prior internship of 12 months or more, so candidates who have already done a substantial internship elsewhere will not qualify.

• South African citizen with a recognised qualification (Finance, Administration, Engineering, IT, Law, Health Sciences, Environmental Science, Humanities and more)
• TVET applicants need N6 for Work Integrated Learning
• Unemployed
• No prior internship of 12+ months completed

• Prepare your qualification documents and proof of unemployment status.
• Apply online only via eThekwini Municipalitys official application channel.
• Submit before the 17 July 2026 closing date.
