Arjo YES Programme 2026: Medical Technology and Healthcare Operations Experience — Arjo’s YES Programme offers workplace experience across medical technology, technical service, quality, supply chain, billing and HR.

Unemployed South African youth can apply for 10 different placement streams through the Arjo YES Programme 2026 / 2027, with workplace experience across medical technology, equipment servicing, healthcare operations, quality assurance, warehousing, rentals, billing and human resources.

The 12-month programme is open to applicants aged 18 to 35 with at least Grade 12. Graduates with relevant diplomas or degrees can also apply for positions aligned with their qualifications.

Successful participants will receive a monthly stipend of R5,614 while gaining practical experience inside Arjo’s medical-technology business.

The programme therefore covers both technical and business-support functions.

Depending on your placement, you could gain experience with:

Medical-equipment servicing
Rental assets
Spare parts
Customer service

Applicants should have between zero and one year of experience in a technical, electrical, mechanical, engineering or service-related environment.

How does field service connect to healthcare technology?

Medical equipment needs to remain safe, functional and available when healthcare customers need it.

Service technicians help maintain that reliability by inspecting, repairing and servicing equipment.

This can give you experience in the technical side of healthcare operations, where equipment performance, documentation and customer service all matter.
