SADAG Integrated Learning Internship

SADAG Work Integrated Learning Internship 2026

The South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG) is offering a 3-month Work Integrated Learning Internship in Sandton starting in September 2026. Young people aged 21–25 with a Matric certificate and little or no work experience are encouraged to apply.

For many young South Africans, gaining that first piece of work experience can be one of the biggest challenges when entering the job market. Employers often seek candidates with practical experience, while job seekers struggle to find opportunities that allow them to build those skills.

Recognizing this challenge, the South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG) has announced a 3-month Work Integrated Learning (WIL) Internship Programme aimed at helping young people gain valuable workplace exposure in a professional environment.

The internship is specifically designed for individuals who have little or no previous work experience and are eager to learn, develop new skills, and strengthen their employability.

Based in Sandton, the programme offers practical experience within a professional office and call centre environment, providing participants with an opportunity to develop confidence and workplace readiness.

SADAG’s internship programme focuses on creating pathways for young people who may not yet have had the opportunity to gain formal employment experience.

The organization is seeking enthusiastic and motivated candidates who are ready to take their first steps into the world of work.

Unlike many internships that require prior experience, this programme prioritizes young people who are looking for an entry point into professional employment and want to build a foundation for future career growth.

Through structured workplace exposure, interns will have the opportunity to learn how a professional organization operates while developing practical skills that can be applied across multiple industries.

The internship has been designed to provide hands-on learning opportunities that help participants become more competitive in the labour market.
