At a glance

What the programme involves

Participants attend induction, complete supervised tasks, research business trends, visit stores and give presentations for evaluation, with support from experienced professionals.

Use the placement to build a record of what you learn. For example, keep notes on your responsibilities, feedback and completed projects without retaining confidential company or customer information. This can help you explain your development in future interviews.

Qualification and citizenship requirements

Applicants must be South African citizens with a valid SA ID and hold either of these qualifications from an accredited university:

• BCom in Finance.
• Diploma in Finance.

The BCom description refers to a Chartered Accountant career path. If this is your goal, ask how the placement fits professional training requirements and whether any training contract or accreditation applies.

Show the full qualification name, university and completion date clearly on your CV. Do not assume that a similarly named course will automatically meet the requirements.

Skills the employer is looking for

The employer values quick learning, adaptability, initiative, analytical judgement, teamwork, professional relationships, a strong work ethic, communication, presentation skills and customer service.

Prepare examples from your studies, projects or previous work. Explain a problem you analysed, a deadline you met or a group assignment you helped complete, and describe your own contribution accurately.

Required application documents

• An updated CV.
• A certified copy of your ID.
• Certified copies of your qualifications.
• A certified academic transcript or tertiary results.

Certification must be no older than three months.

Check that every page is readable and that certification stamps are visible. Follow the file-format and upload instructions shown on the application form. Review your contact details before submitting.

Practical questions to clarify

Before accepting an offer, ask about the starting date, working hours, reporting location and payment arrangements. Discuss how travel for store visits will be organised and who covers the costs. Use the answers to plan your availability and commuting budget.
