The JLL South Africa team shares its skills and market knowledge openly through internships offered to graduates seeking a career in property. Running from January to December each year, the programme provides graduates with the opportunity to learn from the various specialised disciplines in the business, allowing them to obtain real property experience within the fee-earning departments in which they are placed. The interns get the opportunity to work in a different department for each quarter of the year for holistic exposure to the business.

The JLL Graduate Programme encompasses:

• Mentorship and coaching by industry experts
  
• Business acumen and work readiness
  
• Workplace exposure
  
• Technical qualification
  
• Opportunities to be involved in current and future deals.

"The JLL internship programme has offered me the opportunity to be involved in some really great projects with professionals who have a wealth of knowledge in the industry. I believe that the knowledge and experience gained from this programme is a great foundation for the rest of my real estate career," says Madibana Letsoalo (BSc Construction Studies, University of the Witwatersrand; BSc (Hons) Quantity Surveying, University of the Witwatersrand), an intern who is part of the 2015 programme.

With a total of seven graduate interns having gone through the programme from 2011 to 2014, and 71% of them offered permanent positions, JLL currently has an additional four interns enrolled in the 2015 programme.

JLL will once again be hosting interns in 2016. Applications for the 2016 JLL Graduate Programme may be made between 1 July and 31 August 2015. Interested candidates may apply by sending the following information to moc.llj.ue@ednibakn.ait:
