Graduates who have completed an internship programme are far more likely to find permanent employment
“What we found is that it’s not only technical skills that are needed. Developing workplace-relevant soft skills such as problem solving, networking, leadership and presentation skills have really benefited the talented young people in our internship programme.
Motshedisi Ntwe, a solutions consultant at SYSPRO, says the internship provided an invaluable bridge between the theoretical “book learning” of her studies and the implementation of that knowledge in a business setting. Motshedisi studied management accounting before she was accepted for the internship programme, and found that the internship experience opened up a lot of opportunities. “I would definitely recommend it,” she comments.
Mathabela believes that the internship programme was a great stepping stone into her career. As a group, the interns learned not only technical skills, but the soft skills needed in the workplace — professionalism, presentation skills, business etiquette, all of which built confidence for the professional workplace; in her words, “skills they don’t teach you at university”.
