The eMedia MICT SETA Technical Internship 2026 gives qualifying candidates workplace exposure, hands-on learning and a chance to build confidence in a technical environment.
eMedia, in partnership with MICT SETA, is inviting qualifying graduates to apply for its Technical Internship programme. The opportunity suits candidates who hold a Diploma in Electrical Engineering or Electronics and want to gain practical workplace experience.
The internship will place successful candidates at Media Film Service, where they will support technical, workshop and equipment-related tasks.
For graduates who enjoy practical problem-solving, this programme can offer valuable exposure to testing, servicing, fault-finding, repair support and technical documentation.
What Is The eMedia MICT SETA Technical Internship About?
The eMedia MICT SETA Technical Internship 2026 is a fixed-term graduate opportunity for young South Africans who want to enter a technical working environment.
Successful candidates will work as Technical Interns at Media Film Service.
During the programme, interns will assist with electronic and electrical equipment used in the film and media production support space.
This means the role is not only office-based. Instead, it includes hands-on technical support, equipment checks, workshop processes and repair-related administration.
Who Is Media Film Service?
Media Film Service is a South African company that supports the motion picture industry with specialist equipment and services.
The company works with camera, lighting and grip equipment. Therefore, interns can gain exposure to the technical side of film and media production.
This environment may suit graduates who want to understand how technical teams support professional productions behind the scenes.
What Will Technical Interns Do?
Technical Interns will assist the workshop and operations teams with daily technical duties.
Their responsibilities may include:
- Logging repairs onto job cards
- Testing equipment for basic faults
- Helping identify faulty components
- Supporting minor repair tasks when required
- Cleaning and storing equipment safely
- Checking that equipment meets service standards
- Assisting with missing and damage reports
- Tracking items moved into or out of repair status
- Supporting inventory and stock count processes
- Building positive working relationships with team members
This opportunity is ideal for candidates who enjoy accurate, practical and detail-focused technical work.
What Qualifications Do Applicants Need?
Applicants should have the following qualifications:
- National Senior Certificate, NQF Level 4
- Diploma in Electrical Engineering or Electronics, NQF Level 6
These qualifications are important because the internship involves technical equipment, fault-finding and repair support.
In addition, applicants should be comfortable working with basic computer systems and technical records.
Who Should Consider Applying?
This internship may suit young graduates who want practical experience in a professional technical setting.
Applicants should meet these requirements:
- South African citizenship
- Under the age of 35
- Diploma in Electrical Engineering or Electronics
- Basic Microsoft Office skills
- Intermediate English communication skills
- Strong attention to detail
- Willingness to learn

Why Could This Internship Be Valuable?
Many graduates leave college or university with strong theory but limited workplace exposure.
This internship helps close that gap.
Instead of only learning from textbooks, interns can see how technical teams manage equipment, document repairs, follow safety standards and support daily operations.
As a result, candidates may strengthen their confidence, workplace discipline and technical understanding.
For graduates who want to grow in electronics, technical support, media equipment services or workshop operations, this opportunity can be a strong starting point.
