To The Power of X² runs a national initiative backed by Services SETA. It will create 20 000 paid, structured internship placements that last 24 months. The aim is to match unemployed graduates from all over South Africa with real‑world work experience in both the public and private sectors.

What You Get From the Programme
- Earn a monthly stipend while you learn – the internship is paid.
- Spend two full years working in a real workplace, gaining hands‑on experience.
- Possibility to be placed in a government department, a large corporation, or a small business.
