High-performing students keen to join the retail industry can now once again apply for the Shoprite Group’s comprehensive bursary programme.
Students enrolled for degree studies in Accounting, Biological Sciences, Criminology, Information Technology (IT), Logistics and Supply Chain studies, Retail Business Management, Food Sciences, as well as Agricultural Sciences, can apply for funding until 30 April.
This is for the 2024 and 2025 academic years.
The comprehensive bursary covers tuition and accommodation. Employment after graduation is guaranteed, giving beneficiaries a seamless entry into the business, allowing them to learn from the industry’s top talent, experts and mentors.
In addition, bursary holders receive a monthly grocery allowance and enjoy access to the Shoprite Employee Wellness programme.
In the last financial year, the group invested R14,9 million in its bursary programme, which funded 200 students.
“Our bursaries are aligned to critical skills in the business and our commitment to uplifting the lives of young people by providing them an entryway into highly skilled roles,” says Leigh Adams, head of talent and learning solutions at the Shoprite Group.
