Areas: Slots, Gaming Marketing, Food & Beverage, Housekeeping and IT

Graduates to launch a career in the existing hospitality industry!

So you have successfully matriculated and gone on to complete a tertiary qualification that will help you launch a career in the hospitality, gaming, marketing, food and beverage or even technical disciplines.

Certainly the gaming industry is hard work, but it can also be fun and is most certainly rewarding. Once we have assessed your potential, we will be in a good position to place you in training in the likes of the Boardwalk, Carousel, and Grand West, Sibaya, Wild Coast Sun or Lost City.

Your progress will be carefully monitored, during the 12 months, not only to ensure that you are happy and at the right resort , but also to make sure that you are afforded every opportunity to prove your worth and also that the discipline you have chosen is right for you.

Establish a career with a great Brand by bringing us your recently completed qualifications and ambition and let’s see if we can mould the two into a fast moving and rewarding career.

Preference will be given to employees from the designated groups in line with the provisions of the Employment Equity Act, No. 55 of 1998 (and any amendments thereto) and SISA’s internal recruitment policy.

Closing date: 15 September 2010

• Each intern will be expected to learn how to listen to, understand and deliver on our customers’ needs. 
• Each intern will be supported (and challenged!) by a mentor within Praxis.

Skills and experience gained during the internship will be helpful for new entrants to the IT job market. At the end of the internship Praxis will have the option to offer permanent posts to each intern but will have no obligation to make offers to all or any of the interns.

The LRC accepts applications from students who have completed at least one year (though preferably two years) of their legal studies, from lawyers and from other suitably qualified professionals.

Medical insurance and/or travel insurance should be obtained prior to the intern’s departure for South Africa. The LRC does not provide any medical benefits or insurance to interns.

The work that an intern is typically involved in during their time at the LRC ranges from legal research, drafting legal memoranda, providing legal opinions, interviewing clients and assisting the LRC in preparing applications and actions.

Should you consider applying for an internship we urge you to access the information available on the LRC website.  You may wish to read the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa and other publications of which the Autobiography of President Nelson Mandela is a good example. Once you have been accepted to an office for an internship we urge you to get more location-specific information from the Regional Director in that office.

Non-legal internships

The LRC also accepts internship applications from students or professionals with an interest and/or background in fundraising, communications, marketing, management, accounting, social science research or similar field who would like to volunteer with the LRC.
