To find an internship in Cape Town or Johannesburg in areas like insurance, asset management, accounting, or investment banking, start by using your university’s career services. Reach out to your professors and past students for guidance. Check job portals like LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, CareerJunction, PNet, Jobvine, Bizcommunity, Gumtree, Job Mail, Graduates24, and MyCareer for opportunities. Big companies like Standard Bank and Deloitte often list internships on their websites.

Be active on LinkedIn and attend events, meetups, and conferences to meet professionals in your field. Join groups like SAICA (South African Institute of Chartered Accountants) or ASISA (Association for Savings and Investment South Africa) for helpful advice and opportunities. Make sure your CV and cover letter fit each job you apply for, and apply early since popular internships can have early deadlines.

Also, think about summer internship programs and look at smaller firms or startups, which can offer great learning experiences. Best of luck!
