About Us

South Africa has one of the highest youth unemployment rates globally, with over 4.7 million unemployed youth. Among these, 1.2 million are graduates who, despite their qualifications, struggle to find suitable employment, reflecting a significant challenge in bridging the gap between education and job opportunities.

Each year 250,000 fresh graduates leave tertiary and enter the job market with high hopes of landing their dream job and helping out financially at home but find themselves either unemployed or stuck in a job that has nothing to do with the qualification they spent years and hundreds of thousands to attain.

Graduates know how tough it is to land a job. South Africa's job market is stagnant, and not having enough experience often keeps you from getting your foot in the door. This "Experience Challenge" leaves many talented people stuck, unable to kickstart their careers and secure their futures.

After graduation, many graduates feel mired in a rut and even feel like their lives are moving backward due to the lack of career opportunities. This can lead to feelings of depression and hopelessness, making it challenging to stay motivated and positive about the future.

For this reason, we founded OrangLight, basically 'Uber for Remote Internships,' an international internship platform dedicated to solving youth unemployment by connecting South African graduates to remote internship opportunities worldwide, thereby revolutionizing how international jobs are accessed.

We partner with leading startups, small businesses, and non-profit organizations worldwide to source remote internships for our graduates. By working with international companies, you'll gain the experience and skills needed to stand out in a competitive job market and open doors to global career opportunities.

One of the best things of remote internships is the potential to earn in a foreign currency. This will not only help you gain independence but also provides a buffer against high costs of living. By earning in stronger currencies, you can gain your independene, improve your quality of life, and invest in your future.

If you are tired of constantly applying and facing rejection without feedback and are ready for a guiding hand, embark on a journey towards a brighter, more prosperous future with us. Together, we can overcome the challenges and unlock your potential through remote internships.
