About the Internship
The Intern – Administration position falls within the Rosebank International division and the RC Nelson Mandela Bay business unit. The functional area is administrative, while the company’s primary industry is education management.
The intern will play an important role in supporting the planning and delivery of graduation activities. The position combines traditional administrative responsibilities with stakeholder coordination, information management, customer service and event logistics.

Graduation and Event Support
Because the internship is closely connected to graduation activities, the successful candidate will also gain exposure to event administration.
Duties may include supporting venue arrangements, seating plans, guest coordination, graduate arrangements and programme-related logistics. The intern may also provide administrative assistance before and during graduation ceremonies.
On graduation days, the intern will be expected to assist with on-the-day administration and respond professionally to questions from graduates and guests.
