SPAR is inviting all young and eager South Africans to apply for their 2025 Freight Handling Learnership Programme. The closing date to apply is 24 June 2025, so don’t wait too long or you’ll miss out on this amazing opportunity.

Are you between the ages of 18 and 35? Do you have a passion for logistics, warehouse work, or supply chain management? If you said yes, then SPAR’s Freight Handling Learnership Programme could be the break you’ve been waiting for. This learnership gives you the chance to gain real experience, build practical skills, and earn a nationally recognised qualification while learning in one of the top logistics environments in the country.

Let’s break it all down in simple terms so you know exactly what’s in it for you and how to apply.

What is the SPAR Freight Handling Learnership?

This is a 12-month programme offered by SPAR’s North Rand Distribution Centre. It’s called a “learnership” because you’ll be learning and working at the same time. The programme focuses on freight handling, which includes jobs like:

Moving goods in a warehouse
Managing stock and inventory
Keeping things safe and organised
Using warehouse equipment
Working in a team to get products delivered on time

You’ll be doing real work and learning from experienced professionals. By the end of the programme, you’ll receive a National Certificate in Freight Handling (NQF Level 3), which is officially recognised across South Africa.

This programme is approved and supported by the Transport Education Training Authority (TETA) and the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA)—so your qualification will be valid and trusted.

Who Should Apply?

This opportunity is perfect for:

South African citizens aged 18 to 35
Anyone who has Matric (Grade 12)
People who are currently unemployed
Youth who are interested in working in logistics or warehouses
Hard workers who are ready to learn and grow

You don’t need any past work experience. What SPAR really wants is someone with a positive attitude, a strong work ethic, and a commitment to finishing the full 12 months.

What You’ll Get from the Programme

Joining this learnership comes with some big benefits:

Monthly stipend to help cover your transport and basic needs
Real-world job experience that you can put on your CV
Mentorship from professionals who know the industry
National Certificate at the end (a big step toward getting a job!)
A chance to be considered for future work at SPAR or other logistics companies

This is not just a job—this is the start of a career.

Where Will You Be Working?

The programme is based at the SPAR North Rand Distribution Centre, one of the main hubs that helps get products to SPAR stores across the region. This is where you’ll be learning the ins and outs of how a busy, successful warehouse really works.
