Funded graduate placement projects

The Centre participates in a national graduate project which emanated from the Presidential Youth Employment Stimulus fund, an initiative by the president’s office which was announced in 2021. At the beginning of 2022, the DHET invited universities to indicate their capacity to host interns for six months to provide exposure to the university environment. The interns were earmarked to assist in operations and academic activities for the experience. A total of 3000 opportunities were availed, and CPUT has committed 70 beneficiaries to the project.
