Shoprite Money Market YES Programme 2026 Opens for Applications
South African youth looking for real workplace exposure now have a powerful opportunity to step into the worlds of retail, banking, and customer engagement. The Shoprite Money Market YES Programme 2026 is officially open, offering a structured 12-month workplace experience designed to prepare young people for long-term careers in sales, financial services, and retail management.
This initiative is coordinated through West Coast College in partnership with Shoprite, and forms part of the national Youth Employment Service (YES) Programme. It is specifically aimed at helping young South Africans bridge the gap between academic learning and practical work experience while earning a monthly stipend and gaining valuable, industry-relevant skills.
For many graduates and young job seekers, the biggest challenge after completing studies is not a lack of qualification, but a lack of workplace exposure. The Shoprite Money Market YES Programme directly addresses this challenge by placing participants in real Shoprite store environments across South Africa, where they will work as Sales Representatives supporting the Shoprite Money Market Account.
