Successful candidates will take on a variety of responsibilities, including determining stock that needs to be merchandised, drawing stock requirements, checking product quality and shelf rotation, ensuring accurate price tags, and following merchandising plans outlined in the cycle brief.
Interns will also assist with customer queries, track merchandising activities, stay informed about products and promotions and notify the RSM about out-of-stock items.

The programme duration is 18 months for N6 TVET candidates and 12 months for NCV Level 4 candidates. Applicants who do not meet the requirements should refrain from applying. If you do not receive feedback within two weeks of the closing date, your application has been unsuccessful.
