Call for 2025 Advertising Agency Internship Programme applications
The Association for Communication and Advertising (ACA), in partnership with the Media Diversity and Development Agency (MDDA) and the Economic Development Fund (EFD), is offering four fully-paid 12-month internships for recent graduates or matriculants looking to start an exciting and fulfilling career in advertising and communications. The internship period will commence in February 2025.

Interns will be employed by an advertising, media or communications agency for the duration of the programme, and will be enrolled in the ACA’s accredited Graduate Programme, which is run together with The Red & Yellow Creative School of Business. Interns will get the opportunity to work and study at the same time, immersing themselves in real, hands-on work whilst also learning all they need to know about how the industry works, and what it takes to succeed and thrive.
At the end of the 12-month programme, successful candidates will receive a National Certificate in Advertising qualification (NQF 5).
To apply, please download the application form here and, once completed, send the application via email to az.oc.asaca@enS.
