FEM Invites suitably qualified applicants to apply for its YES Marketing Intern vacancy in Johannesburg. The closing date for applications is 06 November 2026.
FEM is looking for energetic South African youth who want to learn how marketing works in a real company. The role is part of the government‑backed Youth Employment Service (YES) Programme, a partnership that creates paid work‑experience places for young people. Over the next 12 months you will sit with the marketing team, pick up new skills, and build a résumé that helps you land a full‑time job after the internship ends.
What You Will Do
- Assist the marketing team – help with everyday tasks such as preparing content, updating social media, and supporting campaign ideas.
- Learn marketing basics – pick up knowledge about branding, digital advertising, and market research while you work.
- Do admin work – organise files, schedule meetings, and keep the department running smoothly.
- Experience a professional workplace – see how a real office functions, follow company policies, and meet deadlines.
- Boost your communication skills – practice speaking, writing, and presenting ideas to colleagues.
- Plan your future career – use the year‑long placement to identify what you enjoy most and strengthen your job prospects.
Who Should Apply
- South African citizen with a valid ID card.
- Completed Grade 12 (Matric) – a certificate is required.
- Aged 18‑35 and currently unemployed (the YES Programme is only for job‑seekers).
- Interest in marketing – a qualification in marketing is a plus, but not a must.
- Eager to learn – you should be ready to take on new tasks and ask questions.
- Committed – the internship lasts 12 months, so you need to be able to stay for the full period.
Why This Internship Is a Good Fit
- Paid work experience – you earn a salary while you train.
- Mentorship – senior marketers will guide you and give feedback on your work.
- Real‑world projects – you will contribute to actual campaigns that reach real customers.
- Networking opportunities – meet professionals in Johannesburg’s business community.
- Career boost – having a year of hands‑on marketing experience on your CV makes you stand out to future employers.
How to Apply
- Gather a copy of your ID, Matric certificate, and any marketing‑related qualifications you may have.
- Write a short cover letter explaining why you want to join the YES Marketing Intern programme and what you hope to learn.
- Fill out the online application form at the link below.
