Youth Programmes & No Experience Openings
If you are younger and don’t have prior work experience, keep an eye out for these specific initiatives when applying through WhatsApp or their portal:
-
Retail Readiness Programme (RRP): A 7-week youth training program (3 weeks theory, 4 weeks in-store). It gives you an NQF Level 2 certificate and a massive foot in the door. Open to South African youth aged 18 to 34.
-
YES Initiative (Youth Employment Service): A 12-month paid, on-the-job training experience within different parts of the business. Requires a minimum of a Grade 10 pass.
Important Safety Warning: Shoprite will never ask you to pay money to apply for a job, book an interview, or take an assessment. If someone asks you for money to secure a job at Shoprite, it is a scam.
