The short answer
There aren't many. On 1 November 2026, of our 2,642 remote roles, 17 titles say part time and 13 say intern, trainee, graduate or apprentice. That's about 1% of the list. Most remote employers want full time people with some experience.
We'd rather you knew that now. We're only counting words in titles, so some part time roles won't be counted. There's a wider pool of 528 entry level roles, but most of those are full time, so they only suit you if your studies leave the room.
Internships and graduate programmes in our list
| Role | Employer | Open to |
|---|---|---|
| Graphic Design Intern | Hire Hangar | Egypt, Ethiopia, South Africa |
| Graduate Software Engineer, Open Source and Linux | Canonical | Worldwide |
| Trust Wallet Graduate Leadership Programme | Trust Wallet | Worldwide |
| Advocacy Intern, Nigeria | CLEAR Global | Nigeria |
| Uganda Pilot Intern | CLEAR Global | Uganda |
| Monitoring, Evaluation, Research and Learning Intern | MEDA | Senegal |
| Apprentice Business Analyst | Gratia | Morocco |
| Sales and Business Development Intern | IN-VR | Egypt, Libya |
| Software, AI, QC, Product and UX Internships | Lamdax | Egypt |
| Marketing internships | Lucidya | Egypt |
| Young Professionals Graduate Programme, Western Cape | Standard Bank Group | South Africa |
These change every week. Read each advert for who can apply, as some are for people who've already graduated, and some may be tied to a particular programme. The two CLEAR Global titles mention MIIS, for example, so check what that means before you apply. Our list doesn't say whether an internship is paid, so ask.
Part time roles
The 17 part time titles come from 11 employers. South Africa is named on 10, Egypt on 5, Ethiopia and Morocco on 1 each. None of them is open to all countries.
Part time isn't the same as easy. Only 7 of the 17 carry our entry level flag. Others include an Oracle Cloud Security and DevOps Lead, and a Senior Media Buyer. Those are part time roles for experienced people.
The more beginner-friendly ones include a Part-Time Remote Legal PA and Content Assistant, a GTM Associate at VirtuHire, an Executive Virtual Assistant at Assist World, and Part-time Sales Development Representative roles at Huzzle and division50.
Watch the hours. A role on US hours may fall in your evenings, which might work around lectures, or it might not. Our time zone tool shows you where the working day falls for you.
If you don't live in South Africa or Egypt
Those two countries get most of these roles. For everyone else, look at three things:
- The worldwide graduate roles above, if your degree fits.
- The 27 entry level roles open to all 54 countries. See who hires beginners.
- The local sites in our network, listed in the footer of this page. They list jobs inside your country, which can include internships that aren't remote.
Be honest with yourself on the timing. It's fine to wait until your last year to apply for a graduate programme, and to use this year to build something you can show. Ask your university's careers office too, as it may know about placements that never reach a job site. Tell them you want remote or flexible work, and which hours you've got free each week.
What helps when you have no experience
- Show something you made. A project, a design, a piece of writing, a small data analysis.
- Use your studies. Coursework and group projects count, if you say what you did.
- Make a plain CV. Our free CV builder keeps it to what matters. Your guide is a remote CV for African applicants.
- Match the advert. The word check shows what you've left out.
- Say when you're free. Tell them your exam dates and the hours you can do every week.
Watch out for these
Students get targeted, as they need money and they're new to this. The US Federal Trade Commission's rule is: "If someone asks you to pay to get a job, that's a scam." The same goes for a paid course that's said to lead to a job. Nobody should pay for a job or a course to be hired. Our scam check goes through the signs, and our look at daily pay jobs explains why those offers rarely hold up.
