Shoprite Group 2022 academic year bursary programme applications open
Creating great opportunities for students.
The bursaries offer students in the fields of accounting and information technology an unparalleled opportunity to further their studies and then go on to work for Africa’s largest retailer.
IT and accounting are two key elements that help power the Group, and its bursary programme has several benefits for students of both disciplines.
Upon graduation, accounting clerks will join a small, hands-on articles programme, where students can expect to receive individual attention, have a say in their rotation plan, and exposure to many different fields, including buying, logistics, or IT.
Article clerks also have the option to complete up to three electives, and may even work closely with the Group’s CFO. Importantly, the Group consistently achieves a high Assessment of Professional Competence (APC) pass rate.
The retail store’s environment of rapid innovation is particularly well suited to IT students who are motivated by changes and challenges, and who thrive in an environment where solving complex problems and conceptualising ideas is the norm.
The practical experience gained through these work-back agreements is invaluable in an increasingly competitive work environment.
“This is a truly unique learning experience – especially for graduates and those just coming out of university space. There are so many different subsidiaries – it’s not just supermarkets – a lot of people aren’t aware of how many businesses there are within the Group,” Kayla Matthews, Trainee Accountant.
Registered university students with a 65% aggregate or higher are encouraged to apply for the Group’s bursary programme by visiting the Bursary and Graduate Opportunities page. Applications for IT and Accounting bursaries are open until April 30.
