Corteva Agriscience – 2026 Graduate Internship Program in South Africa
If you’re a South African student or recent graduate looking for a real job that will give you hands‑on experience, Corteva Agriscience has a 2026 internship program that could be just what you need. The program is a practical learning experience that lets you work in a real office or field setting and earn a recognized unit of training that can boost your future career. You’ll be part of a global team that helps farmers grow better crops and keeps food supplies stable.
What the Internship Looks Like
The internship is split into several tracks so you can choose a path that matches your studies and interests. Each track has its own set of responsibilities and learning goals, but all of them share a common goal: to give you real‑world experience while you continue to learn new skills.
- Administrative – You’ll help with office tasks, keep records, and support the day‑to‑day running of a business.
- Procurement & Sourcing – You’ll work with suppliers, manage orders, and help the company get the right materials at the right time.
- Seed Quality Testing – You’ll test seeds for health, size, and other quality factors so farmers know they’re planting strong crops.
- Supply Chain & Logistics – You’ll see how products move from the field to the market and help improve that journey.
- Seed Production – You’ll work in fields or labs to grow seeds that will become the next generation of crops.
- Communications – You’ll design graphics, write content, and help the company share its story with the world.
- IT Service Delivery – You’ll support the technology that keeps the company running smoothly.
- Corporate Security – You’ll help keep the office and its information safe from threats.
- Customer Technical Specialist – You’ll use your science background to solve problems for customers and explain new products.
You’ll work in one of our South African offices—Kempton Park, Centurion, or other locations depending on the role—and you can expect a mix of on‑site work and office support. All interns will complete at least one formal training unit that can be added to your resume.
Why It Matters
This program gives you more than just a job title. It offers a clear path to develop real skills that employers look for:

- A chance to see every part of the agriculture chain, from seed to supermarket.
- Exposure to the tools and people that drive a large, global company.
- A certified learning unit that shows you’re ready for the next step in your career.
In short, you’ll finish the internship with a deeper understanding of where your interests fit in the world of farming and business.
