If you’re looking for a real way to enter the retail industry, gain workplace experience, and build skills that can lead to long-term employment, the Truworths Stores Learnership Programme 2026 could be your opportunity.

This programme is specifically designed for persons living with disabilities and is available across all provinces in South Africa. It offers structured training, hands-on retail experience, and a chance to prove yourself in a real store environment.

For many young people, the biggest challenge is experience. Learnerships exist to solve that problem.

What This Learnership Is About

This learnership trains participants to become cross-trained retail sales consultants. That means you’ll gain experience in more than one area of store operations, not just one task.

You’ll learn how a retail store really works — from helping customers to handling stock and using store systems.

Skills You Will Learn During the Programme

Sales Floor Experience

You’ll be trained to:

  • Assist customers with product selection
  • Promote store specials and deals
  • Maintain neat and attractive store displays
  • Understand customer needs and fashion trends

Service Desk & POS Training

You’ll learn how to:

  • Process payments and purchases
  • Handle returns (where applicable)
  • Use Point of Sale (POS) systems
  • Assist customers with account-related queries

Stock & Merchandising Skills

Training includes:

  • Stock organisation and control
  • Merchandising according to store standards
  • Reducing stock losses and shrinkage
  • Following store layout and display guidelines

Assessments & Logbooks

This is a formal learnership, which means:

  • You must complete logbooks
  • You will undergo assessments
  • Competence must be demonstrated to pass

Key Responsibilities

If selected, you will be expected to:

  • Complete a minimum of 120 working hours
  • Attend work consistently and on time
  • Prepare for and complete assessments
  • Provide professional customer service
  • Support sales, merchandising, and stock control
  • Follow store safety and security procedures

This programme should be treated like a real job, not casual work.

Who Can Apply? (Eligibility Criteria)

You should apply if you meet the following:

  • ✔ Minimum education: Grade 10
  • ✔ You are a person living with a disability
  • ✔ You are interested in retail and customer service
  • ✔ You are willing to learn, work, and complete assessments

No previous retail experience is required.

Why This Opportunity Matters

Many entry-level jobs reject applicants for having “no experience.”
This learnership gives you:

  • Real workplace exposure
  • Practical retail skills
  • Experience with POS systems
  • A foundation for future retail or customer service jobs

Retail is one of the few industries where you can start small and grow fast if you perform well.
