At a glance

What the programme involves

Participants gain workplace experience, practical training and retail-industry contacts through placements in the Merchandising Department.

Although the portal categorises the vacancy as an internship, the advert describes a learnership.

If shortlisted, ask how the learning and workplace components are organised, how competence is assessed and what must be completed to receive the qualification.

Minimum requirements

• Be unemployed and aged 18–28.
• Have completed a National Senior Certificate / Matric.
• Live in Pretoria CBD or surrounding areas.
• Be willing to learn in a professional environment.

No previous work experience is required.

Main responsibilities

• Identify stock needs and merchandise products according to instructions.
• Check product quality, vintage, shelf life, stock rotation and prices.
• Record merchandising work and complete scheduled store visits.
• Share customer feedback, maintain product and promotion knowledge, and report stock shortages.

Practical arrangements to confirm

Before accepting an offer, confirm the assigned stores, reporting point, working hours and training schedule. Plan your transport around the actual placement and ask whom to contact if travel problems affect attendance.

The starting date and training provider are not named in the advert. Ask for the stipend payment arrangements and any attendance conditions in writing before making a budget.

Documents to prepare

The following is a preparation checklist, rather than an employer-specified list of compulsory uploads:

• An updated CV with your contact details and current area of residence.
• Your Matric certificate or qualification results.
• An identity document and any other supporting records requested by the application form.

Use clear files and follow the portal’s instructions on document format, size and certification. Check that the information entered in your profile matches your supporting records.

Tips for your application

Explain why you want to learn about retail operations. School activities, volunteering or informal customer-service experience can provide useful examples of reliability and communication, provided you describe them accurately.

Keep your CV focused and easy to read. You can show willingness to learn without inventing work experience. Use an email address you check regularly and make sure your cellphone number is correct.
