The Civilian Secretariat for Police Service invites suitably qualified graduates to apply for their internship vacancies.
The closing date for applications is the 7 November 2025.
Why an Internship at the Civilian Secretariat for Police Service?
If you’re a recent university or university‑degree graduate looking for a real‑world job that teaches you about government, policing and public service, this is a great place to start.
The internship lasts for 24 months (no renewal) and gives you hands‑on experience in a busy police‑related public service. You’ll learn how policies are shaped, how audits run, what it takes to manage a large office, and how to make data work in real life.
What you’ll get:
- Monthly stipend: R7,860 (about $400 USD) – paid every month for the whole 24‑month period.
- Full‑time work hours plus the chance to travel to Pretoria for occasional team meetings or training.
- Mentorship from senior officers and admins who will guide you through the first year and help your career plan.
- Career advantages – many of our alumni go on to great roles inside the police department or other public institutions.
