Interfront 2025 Annual Report

94 INTERFRONT ANNUAL REPORT 2025 Graduate Internship Programme The Interfront Graduate Internship Programme complements the bursary initiative by providing structured real-world work experience to recent IT graduates. This programme is an important mechanism through which Interfront promotes youth development, skills transfer, and employment readiness. Interns receive hands-on training, mentorship, and exposure to professional environments, enabling them to develop technical expertise and essential workplace skills. In February 2025, five new interns joined the 2024/25 cohort. The programme was tailored to accelerate their integration into the company’s operations and foster personal and professional growth. Interfront is proud to report that all five interns from the 2024 cohort were appointed to permanent junior positions within Interfront after successfully completing their internships. This not only reflects the effectiveness of the programme but also demonstrates Interfront’s commitment to developing talent fromwithin and creating sustainable employment opportunities for young professionals. Driving Broader Societal Impact Through its bursary and internship programmes, Interfront actively contributes to national priorities. These initiatives are more than just corporate programmes; they are strategic enablers of transformation, equity, and long-term socio-economic upliftment. By investing in the education and professional development of young South Africans, Interfront is helping to build a more inclusive, skilled, and empowered workforce while simultaneously ensuring a strong internal talent pipeline for the future. Since its inception, Interfront’s graduate programme has trained and developed 45 junior professionals who have joined the South African workforce. With the expansion of the company, the programme has expanded, and Interfront currently employs 29 graduates through its internship programme. These efforts reflect Interfront’s broader vision of using its capabilities not only to innovate in the ICT space but also to make a positive, lasting difference in society.
