What the programme offers
PSG describes the programme as a fast-track into its business for graduates who want a long-term career in financial services and financial technology. According to the official listing, graduates get:
Structured on-the-job training
Soft-skills and technical-skills development
A dedicated mentor and a "buddy" system
Exposure to industry specialists
A chance of permanent employment based on performance (this is not guaranteed)
PSG has not published a monthly stipend amount, so be wary of any website or social media post that quotes a specific figure.
Minimum requirements
A valid South African ID
An academic average of 65% or higher
A completed Bachelor's, Honours, Master's or PhD degree in one of the fields listed below

How to apply for the PSG Graduate Programme 2027
Open the PSG Graduate Programme 2027 vacancy (POS06060) on PSG's CareerFocus portal.
Read the requirements and confirm your degree and average match.
Use the portal's apply option and register or log in to your applicant profile.
Complete every section of the online form, including your qualification details.
Upload your ID copy, CV and full academic record as clear PDF files.
Submit before 30 November 2026 and keep a screenshot or email confirmation.
Applying is free. PSG does not ask for payment to process applications, so never pay anyone who promises to "secure" a graduate spot for you.
What happens after you apply
PSG's disclaimer says that if you do not hear back within four weeks of submitting your application, you should consider it unsuccessful. The vacancy has been live since January 2026, so it makes sense to apply early rather than in the final week.
Tips to strengthen your application
Lead with your average. The 65% cut-off is a hard filter, so state your average and key module marks near the top of your CV.
Match the language. Use the same terms the listing uses (for example "financial planning", "data science", "investments") so your CV passes automated screening. Our guide to ATS resume keywords shows how.
Show work-readiness. Vac work, tutoring, student society roles and projects all count. See how to write a CV with no experience.
Prepare for the interview early. Graduate interviews usually open with a self-introduction, so practise your answer using our "tell me about yourself" examples.
