Internship Programme

 
 

 
 


The Internship Programme is a unique opportunity to gain business skills in the aviation industry. We provide interns with valuable work experience for a limited period (minimum six (6) months and maximum one year). Apart from practical hands-on work experience and in-depth knowledge gained, they benefit from being exposed to the world of work and the aviation environment in particular.

Upon completion of the Internship Programme, interns will be better prepared for a work role in their field of study.

The career fields within the SAA Group that support the Internship Programme include:

  • Accounting
  • Mathematics or Statistics
  • Computer Science or Information Systems
  • Human Resources or Psychology
  • Economics Marketing or Communications
  • Engineering
  • Management Science
  • Law
  • Risk Management
  • Other financial business-related fields e.g. Commerce
  • Professional Cookery
  • Aviation Operations
  • Transport and logistics
  • Supply Chain Management

“I would say I’m a better chef due to the internship and the other chefs who assist with the learnings: making sure we were ready to plate on time for meal presentation, assisting with menu design and development and testing recipes for the current menu.” Tyrone Camhee, Air Chefs Culinary Intern, 2012
