This initiative, coordinated through West Coast College in partnership with Shoprite, forms part of the national Youth Employment Service (YES) Programme. It is specifically designed to help young people bridge the gap between academic learning and practical workplace experience while earning a monthly stipend and gaining industry-relevant skills.
For many young South Africans, the biggest barrier after completing studies is not qualification, but lack of workplace exposure. This programme directly addresses that gap by placing students in real Shoprite store environments, where they will work as Sales Representatives supporting the Shoprite Money Market Account.
