Internship and Global Young Professionals programmes


Since 1995, Khulisa has run programmes for recent graduates, and more than 53 individuals from South Africa and around the world have taken part. The one-year programmes provide an excellent opportunity for someone looking to gain experience within the development field. Those who complete the programme work closely with high level staff members and provide substantive contributions to the team. They gain a breadth of experience depending on their own interests and project needs. These programmes are an excellent fit for proactive, flexible, culturally-sensitive self-starters.

Both local and international students are encouraged to apply.
