BAT South Africa is offering the opportunity to an Intern Industrial Psychologists, registered at the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA), to complete their Industrial Psychology Internship programme within our Head office Human Resources Department.

This department acts as a center of excellence to South Africa as well as nine other Southern African countries, and has been certified as a Top Employer for excellence in HR practices and employment conditions in most of these countries.

As BAT is not a current registered HPCSA Industrial Psychologist training institution, we will assist you in drafting your HPCSA internship program and provide you with exposure to most components.

However, you will need to arrange your own external program supervisor and opportunities to obtain exposure to areas not covered within the organisation (i.e. Psychometrics).

The expected start date is 1 April 2017, pending the approval of your internship program with the HPCSA.

1. Job rotations as per your internship program
