Discovery HR Learner Programme 2026: Requirements, Duties and How to Apply

Discovery has published a Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) HR TVET Internship for 2026, giving eligible TVET students an opportunity to gain practical workplace exposure in human resources. The vacancy is listed under DCM Distribution and falls within Administration and Office Support. Discovery’s official careers listing is dated 23 September 2026. 

What is the Discovery HR Learner Programme?

According to the original Discovery advertisement, the position is a fixed-term, structured learning and development opportunity intended to provide hands-on HR experience while supporting the learner’s qualification requirements. The advert lists responsibilities including talent acquisition support, HR administration, reporting, data capturing, filing, project administration and involvement in HR projects and events. 

Confirmed requirements

The official advert specifically lists these essential requirements:

  • Matric/Grade 12.
  • Completed N6 in Human Resources at a TVET College.
  • High proficiency in Microsoft Office.

Discovery also lists Microsoft proficiency as advantageous. Applicants should therefore distinguish between requirements explicitly marked essential and information that may simply be expected for similar HR opportunities. 

What could applicants do?

The advertised duties may include supporting recruitment activities, HR administration, reporting, data capturing, filing and project administration. The role may also involve HR projects and events. Discovery additionally highlights attributes such as attention to detail, collaboration, initiative, time management, confidentiality and the ability to work systematically.

Location

The vacancy is listed in Sandton, Gauteng, at 1 Discovery Place, under Discovery’s DCM Distribution business unit. 

Closing date and stipend

At the time of checking the official advertisement, no closing date was stated on the listing. The advert also does not specify a stipend or monthly allowance. Applicants should not rely on amounts published elsewhere unless Discovery officially confirms them. 

The current listing also does not provide a specific list of documents that applicants must submit. Therefore, applicants should check the application portal carefully for any document requirements before submitting.

What changed from the previous intake?

A specific comparison with an earlier Discovery HR TVET intake should not be presented as fact unless both official adverts are available for comparison. The confirmed information for this 2026 listing is the 23 September 2026 advert and its stated requirements and duties. 

How to apply

Applicants should use Discovery’s official careers portal and select the DC: Work Integrated Learner: HR TVET Internship vacancy.

Official Discovery HR TVET Internship application⁠

Before submitting, applicants should verify the N6 HR qualification, Grade 12 requirement, Microsoft Office proficiency, application information and any documents requested by the portal. Because recruitment information can change, the official Discovery listing should remain the final reference for the vacancy.
