Careers Empowerment Through Academics

Find Learnerships, Internships, Accredited Learning Programmes and SETA Opportunities in South Africa

Welcome to Carseta – Careers Empowerment Through Academics, an online information platform created to help South Africans discover education, training, workplace experience and skills-development opportunities.

Finding a learnership, internship or accredited training programme can be difficult when information is spread across company websites, training providers, institutions and different Sector Education and Training Authorities (SETAs). Carseta brings useful career and skills-development information together in one place and explains opportunities in a way that is easier to understand.

Whether you are a matriculant looking for your first opportunity, a graduate searching for workplace experience, a TVET student looking for Work Integrated Learning, or someone interested in developing new occupational skills, you can use Carseta to explore opportunities that may match your career goals.

Find Opportunities Based on Your Career Stage

For Matriculants and School Leavers

If you have recently completed Grade 12 and are looking for a way to gain skills or workplace experience, explore our learnerships, apprenticeships and entry-level training opportunities.

Requirements differ from one programme to another, so always check the individual opportunity before applying.

For Graduates

Graduates can use Carseta to discover internships, graduate programmes, workplace training and other opportunities that may help bridge the gap between academic study and employment.

For TVET Students and N6 Graduates

Work Integrated Learning is an important part of many TVET pathways. Our platform highlights relevant internships, in-service training and workplace opportunities where available.

For People Looking to Build New Skills

Career development does not end after matric or university. Accredited learning programmes and occupational training can provide opportunities to develop skills that are relevant to particular industries.

Why Use Carseta?

Searching for opportunities online can take considerable time. A vacancy may contain important information about eligibility, location, duration, closing dates and application procedures, but that information is not always presented in a way that is easy for applicants to understand.

Carseta aims to make this process easier by organising opportunities into useful categories and providing practical explanations.

Our content focuses on:

Clear information
We explain important programme details in straightforward language.

Application guidance
Where application information is available, our articles explain how applicants can submit their applications and what they may need to prepare.

Skills development
We cover opportunities that can help learners, graduates and job seekers develop knowledge, qualifications and workplace experience.

Industry information
Our SETA and subsector content helps readers understand how different industries connect with skills development and training.

How We Approach Opportunity Information

Carseta is an independent information platform. We publish information about opportunities from employers, training providers, institutions, SETAs and other relevant organisations.

Where possible, programme details are checked against information provided by the organisation responsible for the opportunity. Readers should always review the original application notice or official application platform before submitting personal information.

Programme availability, requirements, funding, stipends and closing dates can change. An opportunity should therefore be treated as active only when the relevant organisation confirms that applications are still open.

Important: Carseta Does Not Guarantee Employment

Finding an opportunity on Carseta does not guarantee selection, admission, employment, a learnership placement, an internship or acceptance into a training programme.

Selection decisions are made by the relevant employer, training provider, institution or organisation.

Applicants should also be cautious of anyone requesting payment in exchange for a job, learnership or internship. Always verify the opportunity and use the official application channel whenever one is provided.
