Patrimoine is dedicated to creating opportunities for young graduates while preserving South Africa’s cultural and environmental heritage. By developing scarce and critical skills, we help build a sustainable workforce that protects and promotes our nation’s heritage for future generations.
Critical heritage skills are at risk as experienced professionals retire, while talented graduates struggle to find workplace experience. We sit between the two.
Students and graduates ready for the workplace.
Recruitment, accredited training, mentorship and structured WIL.
Museums, heritage sites, archives, libraries and botanical gardens.
Heritage knowledge preserved. Sustainable careers built.
Five services, one purpose: preserve scarce heritage skills by building the careers of the people who will carry them.
We connect talented graduates and students with museums, heritage sites, archives, botanical gardens, and other cultural institutions, ensuring a smooth transition from academic learning to professional employment.
