Cape Town business internship opportunities can be found in business consulting, marketing, venture capital, microfinance, and emerging market entrepreneurship. Previous Cape Town business interns have been involved in activities as diverse as knowledge management projects for strategic consulting firms, operations and logistics optimizations for a local manufacturing firm, as well as assessing the portfolio-at-risk for microfinance institutions.
