Symrise YES Internships 2026: Seven Routes in Isando, Each With Its Own Deadline

Seven internships, seven closing dates

Symrise South Africa is advertising Youth Employment Service (YES) internships at its site in Isando, Kempton Park (Gauteng). The routes do not share one deadline, so check yours before you plan your application. FirstJobly checked the official Symrise role pages on 28 October 2026.

| Internship | Closes | |---|---| | Sales Business Support – Flavour | 3 November 2026 | | Office Administrator | 4 November 2026 | | Research & Development – Flavours | 4 November 2026 | | Marketing – Food & Beverages | 5 November 2026 | | Planning (Supply Chain) | 5 November 2026 | | Maintenance Technical | 10 November 2026 | | Production | 30 November 2026 |

A Fragrance sales support route closed on 28 October and is not included.

Who can apply

The YES screening rules on the role pages are:

• Aged 18 to 29
• Currently unemployed
• Never been on a YES4Youth programme before
• A completed tertiary qualification in a field that suits the route

Some descriptions also mention students. Because the YES rules ask for a completed qualification, students should confirm with Symrise before assuming they qualify.

Which qualification fits which route

• Office Administrator: business administration, office management, public administration, HR or commerce
• Sales Business Support: commerce, marketing, sales, supply chain, industrial psychology or food science
• Marketing: marketing, business, food science or consumer science
• Planning: supply chain, logistics, industrial engineering or operations management
• R&D – Flavours: food science, food technology or chemistry
• Maintenance and Production: technical or engineering qualifications

What you will do

Planning interns, for example, help prepare production schedules, monitor stock, coordinate raw materials and build supply-chain reports. Every route is real workplace experience inside a global manufacturer.

Stipend: the role pages do not state an amount. Do not trust any website that quotes a figure without a source.

Tips before you apply

1. Apply for the route that matches your qualification. Applying for all seven with the same CV rarely works. 2. Put your qualification, completion year and town on the first page of your CV. 3. Say clearly that you are unemployed and have not done YES before.
