Applications for the Shoprite Group’s bursary programme are open for the 2022-’23 academic year.
Registered university students with an aggregate of 65% or higher are encouraged to apply for the programme by visiting the group’s bursary page.
Candidates with an interest in accounting, food sciences and information technology (IT) have until 30 April to apply.
Not only will successful applicants be awarded the opportunity to further their studies, but they will also have the prospect of working for Africa’s largest retailer.
Having pioneered various initiatives in the past year, the group’s employees are at the forefront of one of the continent’s most technologically advanced retail organisations.
This environment of rapid innovation is particularly well-suited to IT students who thrive in an environment where complex problem-solving is the norm.
Students can expect to receive individual attention and have a say in their exposure to many different fields.
Article clerks have the option of completing up to three electives.
Students studying food sciences have an opportunity to work with the Shoprite and Checkers supermarket teams on fresh foods, product development and fresh produce.
The practical experience gained through these work-back agreements is invaluable in an increasingly competitive work environment.
- The group consistently achieves a high Assessment of Professional Competence pass rate. Applications for bursaries in retail business management, pharmacy and supply chain management will open in July.
