Students who are awarded Shoprite Group bursaries are guaranteed a job once they graduate.
Applicants need to be under 27 years old and be registered for either a post-graduate or undergraduate course at an accredited university.
Over the course of the last financial year, Shoprite Group spent R16 million funding the studies of 206 students. The retailer’s bursary programme covers tuition fees, on-campus accommodation, a grocery allowance and, perhaps most importantly, a job after graduation. “What I appreciate most about the Shoprite Group’s bursary programme is the support that they give you as a new graduate,” says Amelia Veldschoen who works at Shoprite Group’s Centurion Distribution Centre. The 23 year-old was offered a bursary from the retailer while she was studying her BCom Supply Chain Management at the University of Pretoria.
“I was given a chance to explore different parts of the business – from the DC to stores. After five months of training, I was appointed as Store Replenisher – a position that has made me realise the impact of supply chain efficiency. We may be a grocery retailer, but our core purpose is to put food on South Africa’s tables. Replenishers play an important role in ensuring that the customer has access to what they need.
As mentioned, bursary applications close on 30th September so visit the links above and submit yours as soon as possible.
