The initiative equips young creatives
with essential real-world skills, bridging the gap between education and
employment in the advertising and marketing industry, says the agency.
Koo Govender, CEO of Publicis Groupe Africa, says, "For
five years, the Le Cubs internship programme has served as a launchpad for
talent, innovation and leadership. We are proud to celebrate this fresh
milestone and the incredible individuals who have helped shape our success. We
are also excited to see what the 2025 interns will accomplish."
This year's group brings fresh energy and potential to the
organisation, with graduates embarking on a structured development journey
tailored to their career aspirations. Publicis Groupe Africa's Chief Creative
Officer says, "At Publicis Groupe Africa, creativity
is at the heart of everything we do. And through the Le Cubs programme, we can
ensure our continued commitment to creativity by investing in the next
generation of talent, giving them the platform to make their mark."
As part of their onboarding, the Le Cubs will receive
practical experience, leadership training and exposure to various aspects of
the business, fostering continuous learning and a dynamic workplace culture, adds the agency.
One of this year's interns, Nomakhosi Lekhanya, shares her
early experience in the programme, "It's been a great combination of
creative energy and professional growth. Each day presents a new opportunity to
dive into diverse projects, from proactive sessions that ignite fresh ideas to
hands-on experience crafting visual concepts. The environment is both
challenging and supportive, where seasoned professionals generously share their
expertise, fostering a culture of learning."
Lekhanya concludes, "I aim to leave with a head full of
inspiration and a heart full of passion that only comes from being immersed in
the creative fire."
