Call for Applications: Hafrikplay Opens 6-Month Professional Internship for Cohort 2
Young Africans looking to build practical experience in the music and creative technology industry can now apply for Cohort 2 of the Hafrikplay Professional Internship Programme.
It is a six-month opportunity designed to help emerging professionals develop their skills through real-world projects.
Hafrikplay, a Pan-African music and content platform, says the programme is aimed at talented individuals who want to move beyond classroom knowledge and gain hands-on experience while contributing to projects within Africa’s growing creative economy.
The programme follows the completion of Hafrikplay’s first cohort, whose interns worked across areas including artist and platform coordination, strategic research, campaign execution, workflow optimisation, executive operations and partnership development.
The new cohort is expected to provide participants with an opportunity to work in a fast-moving music-tech environment, gain exposure to industry operations and strengthen their professional portfolios.
What Participants Stand to Gain
The six-month programme is structured around practical experience rather than observation. Interns will have the opportunity to contribute to live projects, collaborate with professionals and develop skills relevant to the music, technology and wider creative sectors.
Previous Hafrikplay internship opportunities have included roles involving content creation, social media management, digital marketing, community engagement, campaign support and performance tracking, demonstrating the range of professional skills participants can develop within the organisation.
Hafrikplay describes itself as a platform built to promote African music, support artists and provide digital infrastructure for creators. Its platform has more than 50,000 users and thousands of artists, according to its company profile.
Who Should Apply?
The opportunity is suited to young and emerging professionals who are eager to learn, contribute to real projects and build careers within the African creative economy.
Applicants should be prepared to demonstrate relevant skills, initiative, creativity and a genuine interest in the music and creative technology space.
The Cohort 2 application deadline is August 28, 2026, according to Hafrikplay’s recent announcement.
Interested candidates are encouraged to submit their applications before the deadline and ensure that their applications clearly demonstrate their skills, interests and potential contribution to the programme.
Deadline: August 28, 2026
