Project details

Work Travel South Africa is a South African company based in Somerset West, Cape Town.  WTSA  offers a ‘search and select’ service to candidates interested in an internship position whereby we source a suitable employer and job according to each candidate’s individual skills and internship requirements.  We further ensure that all internships are structured with employers in order to achieve the desired outcomes for both the company and the intern.

As a dynamic and experienced company it is our intention to provide a unique cultural exchange between foreign interns and the people of South Africa. This gives young people from abroad the opportunity to experience South Africa at its best, while contributing to the growth of this great country. Through the mutual sharing of skills and experiences we make South Africa a more international work place.

If you are interested in doing an internship we will source a suitable internship position, match your requirements to the right employers, contact them on your behalf and advertise you as a potential intern. Upon their acceptance of your proposed internship we will ensure that employers provide a structured and supervised internship, which is contractually regulated.

During the placement process you will benefit from our staff’s intimate knowledge of the local economy, industry requirements and the indigenous internship policies as well as our excellent working relationships with our employers.

We will match your individual needs and career or study aspirations to an appropriate company, and ensure you a customized internship position which meets according to your abilities, experience and unique requirements.

Accommodation

If you require, we will source suitable accommodation close to your to fit your budget and personal needs. Perhaps a self catering Back Packers or a cosy Home Stay Family?

What will you do?

During your valuable customised Internship you will be integrated into your employer’s daily business routine with the same privileges and responsibilities as one of its full time staff members. You will be given detailed set tasks, specific duties and work assignments which will assist you to develop   your skills as required for the specific industry. If needed, we also offer a comprehensive support service throughout your stay and can assist with accommodation, language course and transfer arrangements.

Have you considered the valuable life skills that an Internship will offer you?

Globalization

The ability to deal with different cultures and business environments is essential in today’s global economy.  This is becoming increasingly more important as commerce and industry spreads across the globe with many companies now represented across different countries and continents.  An internship not only allows you to share knowledge and skills with likeminded career professionals but also helps you make new friends and meet exciting people which will give you a broader perspective on the world we all live in.

Experience in a Professional Environment

Working in a professional environment will help you decide on prospective career choices.  This learning experience will also help you to gain deeper insight into the processes of an established company and a career you are interested in.

Improve your People Skills

Whilst gaining invaluable knowledge and experience, working and living in a diverse country will significantly improve your people skills and help you deal with a variety ofpeople in the professional environment.  This will definitely benefit you in all areas of your life irrespective of your career choice.

Personal Growth

Besides the career-related advantages, staying abroad will have a huge impact on your personal development. Taking this big step and being confronted with a new culture requires a huge amount of courage, openness, flexibility and tolerance. This will help broaden your horizon, make you question your opinions and views, as well as overcome personal and career obstacles.

Your English will improve to the best level

Speaking English fluently is a desirable skill in most industries and businesses worldwide.  This is especially true with the demands of commerce and globalization in recent times.  Interns from non English speaking countries will greatly benefit from being surrounded by English speaking people who are keen to aid you in conversations, and help you improve and better your communication skills.  Better fluency in the universal language of commerce will give you great confidence in your working environment now and in the future!
