Graduate Development Programme
Harmony continues to invest in creating a talent pipeline of young people to fill core and critical roles within the business. We offer a Graduate Development Programme to our Bursar students who have successfully completed their qualifications.
Internships and work experience
This programme is offered to graduates who require work-readiness exposure. The main goal of work-integrated learning is to enhance the chances of employment, as it increases students’ “work-readiness” or employability.
Harmony hosts over 100 interns annually for a duration of 12-24 months depending on the nature of the programme. We strongly believe that internships are a great way to create a pipeline of great future employees, and Harmony transitions some of the interns into permanent roles after successful completion of their programmes.
