Who can apply?
The vacancy is aimed at unemployed young people who qualify as eligible participants in the programme.
Applicants must:
Be between 18 and 33 years old
Have a Matric/Grade 12 qualification
Be currently unemployed
Not have previously participated in a learnership with another organisation
Meeting the basic requirements does not guarantee an interview, and those interested should consider whether they can demonstrate appropriate behaviours and administrative skills.
What will successful candidates be exposed to?
Beyond a general office support role, the responsibilities relate to secondary distribution, with monitoring and reporting duties connected to vehicle routes and deliveries.
The Daily Route Management (DRM) system features heavily in the described duties.
Learners will be exposed to monitoring whether drivers are adhering to the routes intended, and to identify any operational issues which need to be addressed by the managers.
Examples of problems listed in the vacancy include unauthorised stops, speeding, excessive idling, entering restricted areas and harsh braking.
The learnership involves monitoring the delivery route and performance, including stop turnaround times and comparing the scheduled versus actual activity for the route.
Route and vehicle monitoring forms part of the role
The learners will also handle the information about the vehicle and route allocations.
Among listed responsibilities are:
Monitoring the planned versus actual kilometres of the routes
Checking driving, standing and working times
Reviewing whether the planned stop sequence is followed
Monitoring the vehicle-to-route allocation
Assisting with route-allocation handovers
Passing outstanding calls and queries to the next shift
Attention to detail is crucial for someone in this position, as a learner who handles any information about the route needs to be able to highlight any discrepancies to the correct manager.
Reporting is another important responsibility
The vacancy also lists a number of reporting responsibilities related to the DRM system.
Learners may be required to verify DRM reports for use in driver debriefing, identify incorrect geofencing and monitor inactive routes or units that are not reporting.
Extracting daily, weekly and monthly reports for the Project Manager is also part of the responsibility.
Someone considering a career in administration, logistics, distribution or operations could gain a valuable perspective from a learner role in a position such as this.
Skills Clover is looking for
In addition to the basic eligibility criteria, Clover lists a number of competencies for the position.
Candidates should be:
Proactive and action-oriented
Able to achieve results effectively
A team player
Comfortable collaborating with colleagues
Committed and motivated
Capable of performing administrative duties
An effective communicator
Applicants should avoid considering this opportunity as a pure academic experience because the advertised responsibilities suggest that the workplace experience will also involve communication, monitoring, reporting, administration and co-ordination activities.
Where is the Clover YES opportunity based?
The learnership is based in Boksburg, Gauteng, in Clover’s Secondary Distribution department.
The vacancy states that the positions are based at the company’s Atlas branches.
Applicants should take the practical implications of the location into account before submitting their applications, as they will need to be reliably able to travel to the workplace if selected.
How long is the programme?
Clover states that the purpose of the YES opportunity is to provide participants with 12 months’ work experience.
This is particularly important for unemployed young people with Matric, who have limited opportunities to gain workplace exposure.
The learnership will enable participants to understand the typical expectations in a workplace, and to gain experience that they can use when looking for other employment opportunities.
However, applicants should not assume that programme completion guarantees permanent employment with Clover unless the company confirms this.
How to apply for the Clover YES Learner opportunity
Applicants should apply through Clover’s official recruitment/application platform and search for the vacancy with the reference number:
CLO260907-7 – YES Learner
Recruitment information changes regularly, and applicants should always refer to the original vacancy source as stated when applying and ensure the accuracy and completeness of all information provided.
The vacancy information supplied does not list a closing date, and applicants should avoid using an informal source of information about the vacancy.
A useful opportunity for young people interested in operations
Although the advertised title is a YES Learner, the responsibilities advertised provide a clear indication of the nature of the workplace exposure.
The successful candidate will be exposed to aspects of route monitoring, delivery performance, vehicle allocation, operational reporting and administrative co-ordination.
For unemployed Matriculants who are considering a career in administration, logistics, transport, distribution or operations, this is a particularly relevant opportunity because it involves practical exposure rather than academic experience alone.
Applicants should read the official vacancy carefully however, and verify the last-minute requirements before applying.
Important information for applicants
Jobseekers should be wary of anyone asking for money in exchange for an application, interview or placement.
A legitimate job opportunity will not require an applicant to pay an individual for the position.
Applicants should also avoid providing private information via an unofficial social media post or unknown website.
Always verify information via the official channels of the potential employer.
