Who is the programme aimed at?
The listing describes a three-year diploma or degree in commerce, engineering, information technology or a related field. It says the opportunity is ideally suited to recent graduates aged 26 or younger. Candidates outside Johannesburg must be willing to relocate at their own expense. Check the employer’s current selection conditions before applying.
What graduates can expect
The programme combines workplace projects with professional development, learning pathways, certifications and mentorship. Graduates contribute to business initiatives while building technical and professional capabilities.
Show how you learn and solve problems
Choose a project you can explain from beginning to end. Describe the problem, the constraints, what you tried and what you changed after feedback. If you are applying from a commerce background, a well-organised analysis or process improvement can be relevant; you do not need to pretend that every business task was a software project.
For a technical example, explain why you selected a tool and what its limitations were. Include a simple demonstration only if it is reliable and uses data you can share. A small working example with a clear explanation is more useful than an ambitious unfinished portfolio.
How to apply
Follow the official NTT DATA application link below and check job reference R149466. Prepare an accurate CV and the requested academic records. Make your completion date visible and review the location requirements. Submit through the employer’s portal, then save the acknowledgement.
Before accepting any offer, compare the confirmed start arrangements with your study obligations and relocation budget. Do not count on relocation funding when the listing explicitly makes that expense the applicant’s responsibility.
