About the Portal
Helping young South Africans find trusted work, learning, and career development opportunities in one place.
OUR MISSION
Why We Exist
Many young people struggle to find reliable information about jobs, internships, learnerships, and bursaries. Opportunities are often scattered across many websites, and fake listings can put applicants at risk.
The Youth Opportunities Portal brings verified listings and practical career guidance together so you can spend less time searching and more time preparing strong applications.
WHO IT IS FOR
Built for Young People
- School leavers looking for their first opportunity.
- Students searching for bursaries, internships, or vacation work.
- Graduates and unemployed youth ready to start a career.
- Anyone wanting to build skills through courses and learnerships.
HOW IT WORKS
Find, Prepare, Apply
- Find: Search and filter opportunities by category, location, and closing date.
- Prepare: Use our career resources to improve your CV, cover letter, and interview skills.
- Apply: Follow the official application link and confirm details with the organisation.
Important to know
- The portal is a directory — we do not recruit or hire on behalf of any organisation.
- Always confirm closing dates and requirements on the official employer listing.
- Listings are hidden automatically once their closing date has passed, and are reviewed and removed from the dataset during regular updates.
- Listings marked SAMPLE LISTING are fictional and included for demonstration only.
- Applications are free. Never pay anyone to apply for an opportunity.
- Spotted an expired or suspicious listing? Report it to us.
