The organisation is recruiting a Internship Public Relations for its Aliwal North operation. The role forms part of a wider in-service training portfolio across Eastern Cape.
Overview
This Internship Public Relations role has been briefed against a clear set of outcomes for Aliwal North. The successful candidate will work alongside an established team and will be expected to contribute meaningfully to the in-service training pipeline across Eastern Cape.

Quality is everyone’s job. Whether the Internship Public Relations is processing a transaction, supporting a colleague or handling a customer query, the standard expected in Eastern Cape is consistently high and consistently fair.
Tools, systems and information are there to support the role rather than slow it down. The company continues to invest in the technology that backs its Aliwal North teams, and the new Internship Public Relations will feel that from the first week.

A Typical Day
Your day starts with a quick check-in with your mentor and a review of the tasks you’ll shadow or own. You spend time observing experienced colleagues, asking questions and trying small pieces of work yourself. As the day progresses, you capture notes for your logbook, attend team huddles and contribute where you can. The mix of structured learning, real workplace exposure and supportive feedback helps you turn classroom theory into skills you can actually use.
In addition, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Eastern Cape operations throw up the unexpected.
No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Aliwal North.
