The Entelect Graduate Programme
We sense the force in you
Join the ranks of South Africa’s most talented graduates at Entelect
Every year we take on some of South Africa’s brightest young university graduates, who join us with a mix of engineering, science and commerce degrees.
These chosen ones participate in an intensive training programme, structured to accelerate their careers, giving them a clear advantage over their university peers.
We recently calculated that 35% of our people started off as graduates at Entelect. Some of our Senior
Managers, Team Leads, Tech Leads and Solutions Architects started their careers with us, so the idea of taking in graduates is at the very core of who we are and what we believe in.
