TIA Internship Program

We’re inviting African-based organisations that are serious about growth and talent development.

The TIA Internship Program is TalentsinAfrica’s flagship pathway that links forward-thinking African startups, SMEs, NGOs, and social enterprises with highly motivated, pre-screened young professionals across the continent.

Our mission is simple: equip Africa’s next generation with real skills and help organisations grow with talent that delivers.

Through this program, organisations gain access to trained interns in fields such as digital marketing, data analysis, software development, product design, business development, operations, and emerging tech.

Interns get hands-on experience. Organisations get youthful energy, fresh ideas, and real results.
