Gauteng Tourism Authority Internships 2026

Graduates in digital media, design, photography, video, marketing and communications can apply for two 24-month opportunities with the Gauteng Tourism Authority.

The work focuses on digital storytelling, destination marketing, social media, photography, videography, website content and multimedia production for Gauteng tourism campaigns.

Both positions offer a monthly stipend of R6,000 to R7,000 and applications close on 18 September 2026 at 16:00.

Which opportunities are available?

GTA has two creative digital positions:

Creative Digital Design & Content Production, reference DCP/2026
Multimedia Visual Content Creator, reference VCC/2026

Both are built around producing and managing digital content that helps promote Gauteng as a tourism destination.

What does the Creative Digital Design position involve?

The Creative Digital Design & Content Production position focuses on how GTA communicates online.

The work includes creating visual and multimedia content for websites, social media, digital campaigns and other communication platforms.

You may work on:

Social media graphics
Digital campaigns
Photography
Video
Podcast content
Website publishing
Posters and promotional material
Presentation content
Content calendars
Audience engagement

This is a strong fit for graduates who enjoy combining design, communication and digital publishing.

Which design tools are useful?

GTA is looking for candidates who understand digital content creation and visual communication.

Experience with tools such as the following will be useful:

Adobe Photoshop
Adobe Illustrator
Adobe Premiere Pro
Adobe After Effects
Adobe Audition
Canva

These tools are widely used across digital marketing, design, video production and social media work.

For young creatives, practical experience with this software can help build skills that transfer into agencies, media companies, tourism businesses and in-house marketing teams.

How does digital marketing fit into the work?

The position is not only about making graphics or videos.

Part of the work involves helping GTA understand how digital content performs.

You may assist with tracking audience engagement, campaign results and online activity, then use that information to improve future content.

That introduces useful experience in:

Digital analytics
Social media performance
Content strategy
Audience growth
Campaign reporting
Online publishing

These skills are increasingly important in marketing because strong content also needs to reach the right audience and produce measurable results.

What does the Multimedia Visual Content Creator do?

The Multimedia Visual Content Creator focuses more heavily on photography, videography and visual storytelling.

You may help capture and produce content around Gauteng attractions, events, lifestyle and travel experiences.

The work can include:

Photography
Videography
Video editing
Short-form video
Long-form video
Event coverage
Social media content
Livestreaming
Audio recording
Post-production

This is well suited to graduates who prefer working with cameras, editing tools and real-world content rather than mainly working on static design.

Which qualifications are accepted?

The Creative Digital Design & Content Production position accepts qualifications in areas such as:

Digital Media
Multimedia Design
Graphic Design
Digital Communications
Marketing
Journalism
Film and Television Production
Public Relations
Related fields

The Multimedia Visual Content Creator position accepts qualifications in:

Related fields

Applicants should also have a basic understanding of photography, video production, editing and digital storytelling.

What technical skills can you build?

The two positions offer practical experience across several parts of modern media production.

That can include:

Camera operation
Lighting
Audio recording
Video editing
Graphic design
Social media publishing
Website content management
Digital copywriting
Content planning
Digital analytics

These are useful skills for careers in marketing, communications, media, tourism and creative production.

Why is tourism content different?

Tourism marketing depends heavily on visual storytelling.

People often decide where to travel based on what they see in photographs, videos, social media posts and online campaigns.

GTA therefore needs content that can present Gauteng attractions, events and experiences in a way that feels current and engaging.

For young creatives, this gives the work a practical commercial purpose. You are not creating content only for practice. The content supports destination marketing and audience growth.

What happens to the content you create?

The Multimedia Visual Content Creator will also help maintain GTA’s digital content bank, photo library and video archive.

This means organising visual assets so they can be used again for campaigns, media requests and future tourism promotion.

That experience is useful because professional content work often includes both production and digital asset management.

Who should apply?

The strongest candidates are graduates who enjoy creating content and are comfortable learning across different digital formats.

You should consider applying if you are interested in:

Graphic design
Social media
Photography
Video production
Digital marketing
Tourism media
Content strategy
Visual communication

The Multimedia Visual Content Creator position also requires flexibility because some tourism events may take place during weekends or public holidays.
