What is the job?
The Eastern Cape Parks and Tourism Agency (ECPTA) is looking for Financial Management N6 students who have finished all their theory classes. They want you to join them for an 18‑month work‑in‑learning (WIL) placement in 2026. This is a chance to practice the skills you’ve learned in a real public‑sector office and move one step closer to earning a National Diploma in Financial Management.
Why ECPTA is a good choice
ECPTA is a public agency that manages the Eastern Cape’s parks, wildlife and tourism spots. The agency also helps people in the region make money by encouraging tourism and protecting nature reserves. By working with them, you’ll see how money is handled in a public setting and learn the everyday practices that keep the agency running smoothly.
What the WIL program looks like
