Internships:
The City offers various internship programmes to the youths of Johannesburg.
An internship is on the job training or experiential learning provided to graduates.
The City provides two types of internships, namely: undergraduate and graduate internship programmes.
Undergraduate internships are aimed at those students, mostly from FET Colleges, who need practical training before they can be awarded their qualifications.
To qualify, students should be studying towards a qualification that requires them to undertake workplace experiential learning as a requirement to fulfil their Curriculum.
Graduate internships are provided to youths who have already graduated but cannot find employment because of lack of experience.

The maximum duration for both internship programmes is 18 months.
The City as an equal opportunity employer specifically encourages students with a disability to take up internship opportunities.
Interested students\youth should submit the following documents at the 6th Floor of the Metro Centre, B-Block at 158 Civic Boulevard, Braamfontein:
Learnerships:
A learnership is a Vocational Education and Training Programme that combines theory and practice, culminating in a qualification that is registered with the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA).
The Learnerships target matriculants who are yet to obtain higher education qualifications.
The aim is to train them so they can be employable in future.
Learnerships are advertised in newspapers when available.
