The Shoprite Group is offering bursaries for persons wishing to study accounting, food sciences and IT for the 2022 and 2023 academic years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The application period for the retail group\u2019s bursary programme is now open. Successful applicants will further their studies and then be employed by the group in its various departments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The group\u2019s employees are at the forefront of one of the continent\u2019s most technologically advanced retail organisations, which pioneered various initiatives in the past year. This environment of rapid innovation is particularly well suited to IT students who thrive in an environment where complex problem-solving is the norm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shoprite was the first South African retailer to receive accreditation as a training office with the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants and accounting clerks will join a small, hands-on articles programme. Students can expect to receive individual attention, have a say in their rotation plan and exposure to many different fields, including buying, logistics or IT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Article clerks have the option to complete up to three electives. Importantly, the group consistently achieves a high Assessment of Professional Competence (APC) pass rate. Students studying food sciences have an opportunity to work with the Shoprite and Checkers supermarket teams on fresh foods, product development and fresh produce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The practical experience gained through these work-back agreements is invaluable in an increasingly competitive work environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Registered university students with a 65% aggregate or higher are encouraged to apply for the group\u2019s bursary programme by visiting www.shopriteholdings.co.za. Applications close on Saturday 30 April.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
