Participants have the chance to gain real-life exposure in office and on site, and to learn directly from the best in the business, including senior personnel and our CEO, Andrea Taverna-Turisan. This gives participants a way to step into their careers with more certainty and allows them access to a reliable network.

If you are a student that resides in South Africa, studying towards a qualification in the built environment or with an interest in this industry, you may apply. The programme is best suited to final-year or post-graduate students.

Applications must be done on our website via this web page, when applications are open.

We select eight participants per programme to ensure that each participant gains maximum exposure.

We currently host the programme twice a year – once in Johannesburg and once in Cape Town.

We usually notify students two weeks after applications close.

We recommend that you confirm with your lecturer or course convenor if the programme will be accepted towards any practical experience required. You will receive a certificate of attendance and will be able to note your participation on your CV.

No, you will not receive compensation for completing the programme. We do, however, provide you with breakfast, lunch and refreshments during the day, as well as transport to sites.
