Abstract

The public service in South Africa implements a graduate internship programme in line with a national policy and, in some instances, departmental policy. This article analyses the efficacy of internship programmes in the context of the achievement of policy imperatives, the provision of work experience and the contribution of such programmes to graduate employability. The public service requires a constant supply of skills for a professional public institution with generational competence. However, in spite of this demand, 12.5% of graduates are unemployed. Data to establish this figure was collected by means of questionnaires and interviews with interns who were contracted to the National School of Government (NSG). The questionnaires were administered to a sample of 40 graduate interns from 2010-2018 with the intention of analysing data on the basis of contractual commitments, training, conditions of service, performance management and opportunities of employability after an internship programme. The findings from 62,5% of the sample indicated that graduate interns in the NSG appreciated the effectiveness of the graduate internship programme, albeit with an opinion that certain mentoring and coaching aspects could be improved.

南非公共服务部门实习方案的效果,特别关注国家政府学院
南非的公共服务部门根据国家政策,有时还根据部门政策,实施研究生实习方案。本文分析了实习计划在实现政策要求、提供工作经验以及此类计划对毕业生就业能力的贡献方面的效力。公共服务需要一个具有世代能力的专业公共机构不断提供技能。然而,尽管有这种需求,仍有12.5%的毕业生失业。确定这一数字的数据是通过问卷调查和对国家政府学院实习生的访谈收集的。对2010-2018年的40名研究生实习生进行了问卷调查,目的是根据合同承诺、培训、服务条件、绩效管理和实习计划后的就业机会分析数据。来自62.5%样本的调查结果表明,NSG的研究生实习生对研究生实习计划的有效性表示赞赏,尽管他们认为某些指导和辅导方面可以改进。
