eSTUDY South Africa, in partnership with AECI, is offering an exciting 24-month paid internship programme designed specifically for graduates living with disabilities. This initiative provides a unique opportunity to kick-start a professional career with one of South Africa’s leading businesses, while gaining valuable real-world experience and earning a competitive monthly stipend starting from R17,000, depending on qualifications.

The internship aims to empower individuals by providing structured training, hands-on experience, and professional development within a supportive and inclusive environment. Interns will have the opportunity to work alongside experienced professionals, contribute to meaningful projects, and acquire practical skills that will enhance their employability and career growth. The programme will be hosted across multiple locations, including Modderfontein, Woodmead, Chloorkop, Sasolburg, and Umbogintwini, ensuring accessibility for participants in different regions.

A total of 15 placements are available, offering opportunities across several high-demand disciplines. The programme is open to graduates who hold relevant qualifications in the following fields: Mechanical or Mechatronics Engineering (BSc, Honours, or Masters), Electrical Engineering or Control Systems (BSc, Honours, or Masters), Environmental Science or Engineering (BSc, Honours, or Masters), Chemical Engineering (BSc, Honours, or Masters), Data Science (BSc, Honours, or Masters), as well as IT-related and Marketing qualifications. Applicants should have completed their studies and be eager to apply their academic knowledge in a practical work setting.

This opportunity is particularly aimed at graduates living with partial hearing, vision, or physical disabilities, as well as individuals with albinism or those of small stature. AECI and eSTUDY are committed to creating an inclusive and diverse workplace where every individual is valued and supported in achieving their full potential. The programme not only offers technical and professional skills development but also fosters personal growth, confidence, and workplace readiness.

Successful candidates will be exposed to industry-leading processes, technology, and innovation within their respective fields. They will participate in on-the-job training, mentorship programmes, and performance reviews to ensure continuous learning and development. Interns will also gain insights into the corporate environment, improve problem-solving skills, and develop the ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams.

The selection process will prioritise candidates who demonstrate passion, commitment, and the willingness to learn. While relevant academic qualifications are a requirement, strong interpersonal skills, adaptability, and a positive work ethic will also be highly valued. Interns who successfully complete the 24-month programme may be considered for permanent positions, depending on performance and organisational requirements.

This is an exceptional chance for graduates with disabilities to gain meaningful work experience while earning a competitive stipend, building professional networks, and contributing to the success of a leading South African company.
