THE SIGNIFICANCE OF TODAY

This Youth Month sees the launch of the Internship Program at the SABC. The organization understands the importance of nurturing young talent and providing them with the opportunities to grow and excel in their careers. 

The internship program is designed not only to provide practical experience and professional development but also to help bridge the gap between education and employment. By investing in these young minds, we are contributing to the creation of a skilled and dynamic workforce that will drive our industry forward.

Today the successfully appointed interns, along with MICT SETA have been invited by the SABC (currently in the M1 auditorium) as part the launch of this year’s Internship Program.
