About the Opportunity

The SACAA internship programme is designed to develop the next generation of skilled professionals by placing graduates in a functional, hands-on administrative environment. Over the 1 to 2-year contract period, interns will work directly within a department, supporting day-to-day operations and contributing to the organisation’s administrative and information management functions.

This is a paid, contract-based position offered at a market-related salary, with an Employment Equity prioritisation in line with the SACAA’s Employment Equity Plan.

What You Will Be Doing

As a General Administration Intern, your responsibilities will include:

• Preparing, collating, and packaging documents required for departmental meetings and engagements
• Circulating information and documentation throughout the department, maintaining accurate records of all correspondence
• Receiving and relaying documentation to the appropriate recipients within the department
• Developing and maintaining a structured filing system that enables quick and accurate retrieval of information
• Screening, classifying, and recording documents for easy access and tracking
• Coordinating departmental functions and meetings
• Ensuring all documents are properly filed and accessible at all times
