In this paper, a case study is presented, based on an internship program presented at the University of Johannesburg owned company Resolution circle located in Johannesburg South Africa. The paper is aimed at presenting the benefits of a properly managed engineering Work Integrated Learning Internship: a case study. Through the case study, a series of surveys are conducted to follow up the graduates' placement in the industry. A detailed follow-up of the processes described in this paper could enable the understanding of how many graduates are placed after graduation. Also indicated in this paper are the engineering skills shortage numbers in South Africa.
