🚀 Student Desk Expert Insight: The Public Sector Advantage

Completing your 18-month WIL at the National Treasury carries significant weight on a professional CV.

• The 18-Month Standard: Unlike many private sector internships that only last 12 months, the National Treasury provides the full 18-month duration required by the DHET for Business Studies graduates to claim their National Diploma.
• Asset & Liability Management: If you are placed in the Asset & Liability Management (ALM) unit, you will be exposed to how the government manages national debt and state-owned assets. This is high-level exposure that is rarely available at the provincial or municipal levels.
• Strict Closing Time: Note that the deadline is 12:00 PM (Midday) on 27 March. Government portals often experience high traffic on closing days, so aim to submit your application at least 48 hours before the cut-off.
