Get exposure to big business operations
Build a career path with confidence

And yes—you’ll receive a monthly stipend to help support yourself during the programme.

While the programme is open to all unemployed youth who meet the basic criteria, GUD Holdings especially encourages applications from young people with post-matric or tertiary qualifications in the following areas:

Marketing
Information Technology (IT)
Business and Operations Management
Chemistry

These areas connect directly with the company’s needs and give you a better shot at long-term career opportunities within the business.
