So far, Karabo Legoabe (2010), Arthur Nkuna (2011), Lakin Morgan (2012), and Mondli Magenuka (2013) have benefited from the programme, which has the intern work out of BASA's Joburg offices from January to December.

Lonwabo Mavuso, marketing and operations manager of Business and Arts South Africa, said: "The BASA intern programme has proved an invaluable way for graduates who are passionate about a career in arts administration to get robust experience and an intimate feel for what the career entails."

Synthesis between study and practice

The internship gives an emerging administrator the opportunity to access mentorship, grow in several administrative skill areas through training, and also drive projects, which provide synthesis between study and practice.

The 2013 Business and Arts South Africa intern programme, supported by Rand Merchant Bank (RMB) selects interns based on their education, experience, and enthusiasm for the arts. The intern selected is expected to engage in the diverse projects that BASA is involved with, reports to the marketing and operations manager, and works closely with the entire BASA team.
