Managed People Solutions is offering an internship opportunity for young, unemployed, and ambitious students who have completed their TVET College N6 Certificate. This program is specifically for those who need to complete their 18-month workplace experience to qualify for their N6 Diploma. The position is based in Krugersdorp, Gauteng, and is designed to provide hands-on experience in the wine and spirits industry.

As a Junior Merchandiser, your main tasks will include checking and managing stock on shelves, determining which products need merchandising, and drawing up stock requirements based on store needs. You will inspect products for quality, ensure correct pricing, and check stock rotation. You will also carry out merchandising activities as outlined in your cycle brief, such as setting up displays and promotions.

Additionally, you will handle customer feedback by addressing complaints, queries, and requests related to products or promotions. Keeping up-to-date with product knowledge and promotions is important, so you will need to communicate this information effectively to customers and colleagues. You will record all merchandising activities accurately and follow a set call cycle to check on products in stores. If products are out of stock, you will report this to your Regional Sales Manager (RSM) so they can take action.

To qualify for this internship, you must be under 28 years old and have completed your N6 TVET Certificate in one of the following fields: Management Assistant, Business Management, or Marketing Management. No prior work experience in merchandising is required, but a strong interest in retail, customer service, and attention to detail will be beneficial. You should be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and be willing to learn from experienced professionals.

This internship offers a monthly stipend of R3,500 for the duration of the 18-month program. The program is designed to give you real-world experience, improve your skills, and make you more employable in the wine and spirits industry. You will work alongside experienced merchandisers, gaining valuable insights and building your professional network.
