Graduates can apply for four 12-month OUTsurance internships in Centurion, covering recruitment, finance operations, motor assessing and digital learning content.
The programme gives graduates structured workplace experience inside an insurance business while paying a stipend for the duration of the fixed-term internship.
The available opportunities are suited to graduates in Human Resources, Industrial Psychology, Labour Relations, Law, Business, Finance, Public Administration, Multimedia and Graphic Design.
Which OUTsurance internships are available?
There are four internship tracks:
- Human Resource Recruitment Internship
- Motor Assessing Internship
- Finance Operations Internship
- eLearning Content Developer & Administrator Support Internship
Each one leads into a different part of the business, so the best option will depend on what you studied and the kind of work you want to build experience in.
What will you gain from the Human Resource Recruitment Internship?
If selected for the Human Resource Recruitment Internship, you will gain workplace exposure within the people and recruitment side of OUTsurance.
This can suit graduates who want to understand how organisations attract, assess and appoint employees while supporting broader HR processes.
Relevant qualifications include:
- Human Resources
- Industrial Psychology
- Labour Relations
- Law or LLB
- Generic Management
- Business Management
- Related qualifications
For graduates interested in recruitment, talent acquisition or employee relations, this internship can provide a practical introduction to HR work inside a large financial-services company.
How can Industrial Psychology or Labour Relations fit into the HR internship?
Industrial Psychology and Labour Relations both connect closely with the way organisations manage people.
If your background is in Industrial Psychology, you may already have studied workplace behaviour, employee assessment or organisational development.
Labour Relations and Law graduates may bring knowledge connected to employment practices, workplace rules and employee relations.
The internship gives you a chance to apply some of that academic knowledge in a real business setting.
What will you learn in Motor Assessing?
The Motor Assessing Internship sits closer to the insurance claims and vehicle side of the business.
If selected, you will gain exposure to how motor-related matters are handled inside an insurer.
OUTsurance accepts graduates with qualifications such as:
- Public Administration
- Business Management
- Related qualifications
This track may suit you if you are interested in insurance operations, claims processes, vehicles or customer-facing business administration.
How does motor assessing connect with insurance?
Motor assessing forms part of the process insurers use to understand vehicle damage and determine what needs to happen after a claim.
That can involve coordination between clients, assessors, repairers and internal insurance teams.
The internship can therefore give you a better understanding of how motor insurance works beyond the sales side of the industry.
For a Business Management or Public Administration graduate, this can provide useful exposure to operational decision-making and service delivery.
What will you gain from Finance Operations?
The Finance Operations Internship is aimed at graduates with a finance-related Diploma or Degree.
If selected, you will gain practical experience within the financial side of OUTsurance.
That can help you understand how finance teams support the daily operation of an insurance business.
Depending on your placement, the experience can strengthen skills connected to financial administration, reporting, internal processes and business operations.
Why is finance important inside an insurance company?
Insurance businesses manage large volumes of premiums, claims and operational transactions.
Finance teams help make sure money is recorded, controlled and reported correctly.
For a graduate, working in this setting can provide a useful view of how financial processes support a regulated financial-services business.
It can also help you decide whether you want to move toward accounting, financial operations, reporting or broader insurance finance.
What will you do in the eLearning internship?
The eLearning Content Developer & Administrator Support Internship is suited to graduates with qualifications such as:
- BIS Multimedia
- BA Graphic Design
- Similar qualifications
If selected, you will work closer to digital learning, visual communication and training support.
The combination of content development and administration means the internship can expose you to both the creative and organisational sides of workplace learning.
How do graphic design and multimedia fit into eLearning?
Digital training content needs to explain information clearly while keeping learners engaged.
A multimedia or graphic design background can help with areas such as visual structure, content layout and digital learning materials.
You may also gain experience in the systems and administrative processes that support internal training.
This can be useful if you want to move into:
- eLearning
- Instructional design
- Digital content
- Corporate training
- Multimedia production
- Learning administration
Which internship is the best match for you?
Your qualification should guide your decision.
The HR Recruitment Internship is the strongest fit if your studies are connected to people, employment, organisational behaviour or business management.
The Motor Assessing Internship may suit you if you want exposure to insurance claims, motor operations and business administration.
The Finance Operations Internship is the clearest route for finance graduates.
The eLearning Content Developer & Administrator Support Internship is best suited to multimedia and graphic design graduates who want to use creative skills in a corporate learning setting.
What can you gain from working inside an insurance company?
All four internships give you exposure to a financial-services business, even though the actual work differs.
Depending on your programme, you could build practical experience in:
- Human resources
- Insurance operations
- Claims support
- Finance
- Business administration
- Digital content
- Corporate learning
- Professional communication
This gives you a chance to develop workplace experience while also learning how different functions fit together inside an insurer.
How long will the internships run?

You will also receive a stipend during the programme.
The purpose is to give unemployed graduates structured work experience that can strengthen future applications and help build professional skills.
