An internship programme for students from designated groups who have completed a course in labour law and who are contracted for a year to accompany our professional staff to employment related interventions e.g. arbitrations, negotiations, training workshops and consultations with the purpose of providing them with practical experience, knowledge and exposure. Through this program we invest in the development of these students in order to assist them to position themselves for their future careers.
In addition, we accommodate one final year student from the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (previously Peninsula Technikon) for a period of three months as part of their practical training.
