Clicks Group Invites qualified applicants to apply for its Youth Employment Programme Vacancies. The closing date for applications is 5 October 2026.
Clicks Group is looking for young people who are out of work and want to learn how a health‑ and beauty‑store runs. The fixed‑term Youth Employment Programme in Bloemfontein gives you classroom lessons and real‑world training in a Clicks store. By the end of the programme you can earn an NQF Level 2 Checkout Operator qualification.
What the programme is about
- Learn in a classroom – You will attend short lessons that cover basic retail skills, customer service and how a checkout system works.
- Practice on the shop floor – After each lesson you will go to a Clicks store and try what you have learned with real customers.
- Earn a work‑based qualification – If you finish the training successfully, you will receive the NQF 2 Checkout Operator certificate, which looks good on a CV.
The programme is built for South African youngsters aged 18‑29 who are currently unemployed. It is a good stepping‑stone into retail, customer care and sales jobs.
Daily duties you’ll do
- Attend all classroom sessions and take notes.
- Work at the checkout counter, helping customers pay for their purchases.
- Stock shelves and keep the store tidy.
- Answer questions from shoppers in a friendly way.
- Work together with other team members to keep the store running smoothly.
- Follow the store’s safety rules and the programme’s guidelines.
- Show willingness to learn new tools, like the point‑of‑sale system.
These tasks help you turn theory into practice and build confidence for future work.
