Pepkor Lifestyle Logistics invites suitably qualified applicants to apply for their Warehouse and Logistics Operations Learnership Programme Vacancies. The closing date for applications is the 30th of November 2025.
Are you between 18 and 28 years old and wondering what to do after finishing school? Maybe you’re tired of sitting at home sending out applications that go nowhere. Here’s something different – a real opportunity to learn actual skills while earning money at the same time.
Pepkor Lifestyle Logistics is looking for young people who want to learn about the world of warehouses and logistics. Don’t worry if you don’t know much about this industry yet. That’s exactly why this programme exists – to teach you everything from scratch.
Think about every time you order something online or buy products from a store. Someone had to move those items from one place to another, store them safely, and make sure they got to the right location. That’s what logistics is all about, and it’s a massive industry in South Africa right now.
This learnership will teach you how everything works behind the scenes. You’ll spend 12 months learning both the theory and getting your hands dirty with real work. By the end of it, you’ll have a nationally recognised qualification that employers actually care about.
The requirements are pretty straightforward. First, you need to be a South African citizen. Your age should be between 18 and 28 years old. This programme was specifically created for young people who are just starting their careers.
You must have finished Grade 12 and have your Matric certificate. That’s it for education requirements – you don’t need any fancy diplomas or degrees. What matters more is your attitude and willingness to work hard.
They’re looking for people with good communication skills. You don’t need to speak like a professor, but you should be able to talk to people clearly and work as part of a team. A positive attitude is super important too. Nobody wants to work with someone who complains all day.
The most important thing is that you must be ready to commit to the full programme. This isn’t something you can quit halfway through when you get bored. It’s a proper commitment that will last for 12 months.
The programme covers everything you need to know about running a warehouse. You’ll learn how to receive goods when they arrive, how to pick items for orders, pack them properly, and send them out for delivery.
Stock management is another big part of the training. You’ll understand how to keep track of inventory, make sure nothing goes missing, and organise products so they’re easy to find. These are skills that every business needs, so you’ll always be valuable.
You’ll also learn about logistics coordination. This means understanding how goods move through the entire supply chain from start to finish. It’s like solving a giant puzzle where everything needs to be in the right place at the right time.
Safety is taken very seriously in warehouses. You’ll be trained on all the safety rules and compliance practices that keep everyone protected at work. This knowledge could literally save your life or someone else’s one day.
Working in a warehouse means things move fast. You’ll develop important skills like time management, problem-solving, and teamwork. These aren’t just useful for this job – they’ll help you in any career you choose later.
Let’s talk about the benefits. First, you’ll receive a monthly stipend while you’re training. This means you’ll have money coming in every month, which is way better than sitting at home unemployed.
The programme is properly structured over 12 months. You’re not just being thrown into work with no support. There’s a real training plan that combines classroom learning with practical experience.
You’ll get mentorship from people who really know this industry. They’ll guide you, answer your questions, and help you grow. Having experienced people invest their time in teaching you is incredibly valuable.
The best part? If you do well during the programme, there’s a real chance of getting a permanent job afterwards. Pepkor Lifestyle looks after their learners and often hires them once they’ve completed their training.
The logistics and warehousing sector is exploding in South Africa. With more people shopping online and businesses needing to move goods efficiently, there’s a huge demand for trained workers. Getting into this field now means you’re setting yourself up for long-term success.
This isn’t just a temporary job. The skills you learn here will stay with you forever. Even if you eventually move to a different company or industry, understanding how supply chains and logistics work is always valuable.
Don’t let this opportunity pass you by. The closing date is 30 November 2025, so you need to act fast. Get your Matric certificate ready, prepare your application, and submit it before time runs out.
Remember, thousands of other young people will be applying for this programme. What will make you stand out is showing genuine interest and commitment. When you apply, make it clear why you want this opportunity and what you’re willing to do to succeed.
