There’s a rare chance to start a mining career right now. Valterra Platinum is offering paid graduate internships in finance and human resources, and the deadline is fast approaching.
What the internship is
Valterra Platinum will take on graduates for two fixed‑term internship streams: Finance and People and Organisation. Both programmes run at the Mogalakwena Complex in Mokopane, Limpopo. No previous work experience is required, but you must submit a complete application by 28 August 2026.
Who can apply
Finance stream – you need a completed Bachelor of Commerce in Finance, Accounting, or another qualification that clearly relates to finance or accounting.
People and Organisation stream – you need a completed Diploma in Human Resource Management, or a qualification that is directly related to HR.
All applicants must also provide:
- Full curriculum vitae
- Academic transcript or qualification certificate
- Stamped proof of residence (tribal office or municipal stamp)
- Copies of all relevant qualifications
What you will gain
The internships are designed to turn your academic knowledge into real‑world skills. You can expect:
- Hands‑on projects linked to mining operations
- Mentorship from experienced professionals
- Training in workplace safety and responsible mining practices
- Opportunities to work with diverse teams
- Development activities that boost your employability
Even if you have not secured a first job yet, this experience can give you a strong start in the mining sector.
How to apply – step by step
Use the Valterra Platinum portal to submit your application. Follow these steps:
- Select the stream that matches your qualification.
- Enter all personal details accurately.
- Upload your full CV.
- Upload your academic transcript or qualification certificate.
- Upload copies of any other relevant qualifications.
- Upload your stamped proof of residence.
- Check every section for missing or incorrectly uploaded files.

Tips to improve your chances
- Label each file clearly, e.g., “Jane‑Doe‑CV.pdf” or “Jane‑Doe‑Transcript.pdf”.
- Make sure all documents are legible and match your personal details.
- Include university projects, volunteer work, leadership roles, or software skills in your CV to show readiness.
