Internships and Learnerships
Pulp’s internships and learnerships create meaningful opportunities for young people to gain practical workplace experience within the creative industries. Through mentorship, hands-on projects, and collaborative learning, participants develop valuable technical, professional, and creative skills while working alongside experienced practitioners. These programes help bridge the gap between education and employment, empowering youth with the confidence, knowledge, and experience needed to pursue future career opportunities.
A testament of this lives in this website. Okgethile Sithole joined the Pulp Paperwork’s Team in June of 2026 as an intern and completely redesigned and helped develop the Pulp website. Through this internship we were able to assist him academically, financially and creatively.
We are all about growth and collaboration.

In a city where many young people face barriers to employment and professional development, internships and learnerships play a vital role in creating pathways to opportunity. For youth in Lorentzville and the surrounding Johannesburg communities, access to meaningful workplace experience can be the difference between having a qualification and being truly prepared for the world of work.
At Pulp, internships and learnerships are more than training programmes—they are opportunities for growth, mentorship, and empowerment. By providing hands-on experience within a creative and collaborative environment, Pulp equips young people with practical skills, industry knowledge, and professional confidence. Participants are able to contribute to real projects, learn from experienced practitioners, and gain valuable insight into careers within the creative sector.
These programmes also strengthen the local community by investing in emerging talent and creating opportunities for young people to develop their potential close to home. Through skills development, creative exploration, and workplace exposure, Pulp helps nurture the next generation of artists, designers, makers, and creative professionals, contributing to a more inclusive and sustainable creative economy in Johannesburg.
