Joburg City Theatres is opening doors for young South Africans with its Internship Programme 2026. This program targets unemployed youth who want real-world experience in arts, customer service, and IT. Applications close on 24 April 2026, so now is the time to prepare.
Program Overview
The Joburg City Theatres Internship Programme lasts up to 24 months. It helps participants move from school to work in theatre operations, customer care, and tech support. Interns earn a stipend of R6,094 per month, but no extra benefits come with it. Positions are at Soweto Theatre in Jabulani and Joburg Theatre in Braamfontein, both in Johannesburg.
Available Positions
Two types of internships are open. Each offers hands-on tasks in a lively theatre setting.
Customer Services Intern
Reference number: CS/ST/04/2026.
Location: Soweto Theatre (Jabulani).
Stipend: R6,094 per month.
Interns handle customer questions by phone, email, or in person. They log complaints, update CRM records, and prepare reports on interactions. They also support daily services, attend training, and write monthly reports. This role suits those with studies in Public Administration, Office Administration, or Business Administration.
Information Technology Intern (Two Spots)
Reference number: IT/JT/04/2026.

How to Apply
Send everything by email to [email protected]. Use the correct subject line, like “CS/ST/04/2026” for Customer Services or “IT/JT/04/2026” for IT. Late or missing parts mean no chance. The deadline is 24 April 2026.
Best Fits for This Opportunity
TVET and diploma holders without internship experience will thrive here. Those near Soweto or Braamfontein, or with interest in theatre, arts, or IT, should jump in. It builds skills for public-sector jobs in Johannesburg’s cultural scene.
