Clicks – TVET Internship / fixed-term in-service training opportunity

TVET internships can be especially useful when they lead to practical store exposure rather than only classroom-based learning, and this Clicks TVET Internship (Business Related Courses) in the Northern Cape is built around that kind of workplace training. It is aimed at N6 students who need in-service training and are able to travel to stores such as Clicks Kalahari, Kakamas, Springbok, and Upington for an 18-month fixed-term opportunity.

What this opportunity is

This internship is intended for TVET students who have completed their N6 and are seeking in-service training. The programme runs for 18 months and is based at Clicks retail stores, giving learners practical exposure in a real retail environment.

• An N6 TVET student in a business-related field who still needs in-service training
• Someone who is unemployed and available for a full 18-month programme
• An applicant who is willing to work in a retail store environment
• A candidate who can realistically travel to Northern Cape store locations such as Kalahari, Kakamas, Springbok, and Upington
