Group, has opened bursary applications for the 2021 academic year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith unemployment levels continuing to increase as South Africans grapple with the economic fall-out of Covid-19, our bursary programme offers opportunities to highly motivated and ambitious young people,\u201d says Lungile Koti, the Group\u2019s Graduate Recruitment Manager. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re looking for students who can grow into the future leaders of our industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With thousands of stores across 15 countries and more than 147 000 employees, the Group is a fast-paced, technologically-advanced company at the forefront of retail innovation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most recently it was the first retailer in South Africa to launch virtual vouchers and contactless QR payments in direct response to the Covid-19 pandemic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Group invests in students acquiring skills relevant to its business and it is specifically offering bursaries for the following fields of study:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Data Science (3rd and 4th year)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Data Engineering (1st year) <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>IT

years)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Each bursary comes with a work-back agreement to deepen learning with a strong practical element to gain hands-on experience in the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students with a 60% aggregate or higher are encouraged to apply for the Group\u2019s bursary programme by visiting the Bursary and Graduate Opportunities page on www.shopriteholdings.co.za before 30 September 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To find out more about the Group\u2019s bursary and graduate opportunities, be sure to attend the first VirtualGradExpo on 21 July, 29 July and 13
