Payment
The intern will be paid a stipend as per company policy.

Learning Institutions should write application letters for attachment positions for their continuing students or the students may write and apply directly to the Human Resource Manager.
All applications should be made out to:

Extensions
This is greatly discouraged and interns are required to clear with their supervisors in the last week of their attachment period.
Note:
Extensions can only be allowed where an intern is yet to be assessed by his/her college supervisor/lecturer.
To allow this, HR Manager has to get official communication from the Learning Institution.
Interns are encouraged to communicate and make arrangements with their college lecturers to assess them in good time before the expiry of their attachment period to avoid inconveniences if it would not be possible to get the extension.
