National Agricultural Marketing Council opens paid TVET internship placements to unemployed young South Africans looking to gain real workplace experience in the agricultural sector

For many young South Africans, finishing a TVET qualification is only half the battle.

The real challenge comes next: finding a workplace that’s willing to give you a shot.

The National Agricultural Marketing Council (NAMC) is stepping into that space with a set of TVET placement internships aimed squarely at unemployed youth who are ready to turn classroom learning into real-world experience.

Turning Qualifications into Real Experience

These internships aren’t about ticking boxes.

They’re designed to place TVET graduates directly into working environments where theory meets practice.

Interns get the chance to use what they studied, learn how a professional office actually runs, and pick up the employability skills that often make the difference between staying stuck and moving forward.

In the process, NAMC is also strengthening South Africa’s agricultural value chain by investing in fresh skills and future capacity.

Fields of Study That Qualify

To be considered, applicants must hold a TVET National N Diploma in one of the following areas:

• Financial Management (Ref No: GP INT005/2026)

• Human Resources Management (Ref No: GP INT006/2026)

• Public Relations (Ref No: GP INT007/2026)

• Transport and Logistics (Ref No: GP INT008/2026)

• Agribusiness Management (Ref No: GP INT004/2026)

• IT and Computer Science (Ref No: GP INT009/2026)

• Management Assistant (Ref No: GP INT010/2026)

The Skills NAMC Is Looking For

Beyond qualifications, NAMC is clear about the kind of people they want to work with.

Successful candidates should bring a mix of attitude, ability, and professionalism, including:

• Strong verbal and written communication

• Solid computer skills

• Problem-solving and analytical thinking

• Good administration, planning, and coordination abilities

• Project management exposure

• Confidence in your field of study

• Willingness to learn and adapt

• Customer-focused thinking

• Attention to detail and deadline discipline

• The ability to work alone or as part of a team

• The composure to handle pressure without falling apart

In short, they’re looking for people who are serious about building a career, not just filling time.

Why This Opportunity Matters

Workplace exposure is often the missing link between education and employment.

By offering these placements, NAMC is helping young people build credible experience while also contributing to inclusive growth in the agricultural sector.

It’s a practical step toward youth empowerment, not just a slogan.
