Dube TradePort opens internship opportunities for South African graduates

September is always an exciting month for Dube TradePort, as we take internship applications throughout the month. As Dube TradePort, we have recognised that internships can be an important tool in helping to address the skills gap within South Africa, ensuring that graduates have the opportunity to gain the prerequisite knowledge to become employable is critical to tackling unemployment in an ever changing economic environment. Working in collaboration with a diverse group of professionals that are within the different businesses that Dube TradePort Corporation operates, we have been successful in creating an engaging and practical learning environment for graduates.

Dube TradePort Corporation’s internship programme is a 12-month development programme designed to hone candidates’ skills in their chosen profession. This gives graduates an opportunity to apply their academic knowledge, under the guidance of experienced professionals, to prepare them for the “working world”. The aim is to ensure that after the programme - having worked on some of the largest infrastructure projects in the province, including state-of-the-art facilities, advanced systems and processes - graduates will be able to add real value to the operations of prospective employers.   

Now in its fifth year, Dube TradePort Corporation’s internship and in-service training programme has successfully enrolled over 100 graduates to-date, with 80% of them have secured permanent employment opportunities with other employers within the market.
