THE UNIQUENESS

We're a group of dynamic individuals with our own ideas and opinions. This is what makes us unique and creates an environment where the contribution of ideas is embraced and encouraged. Truworths believes in recognising this contribution both financially and via other means such as developmental support. All of which leads to Truworths being innovative, creative and highly successful.

THE FOUNDATION

Our merchant trainees are our future and we believe that by investing in their potential – through mutual sharing of knowledge and experience – we are building the foundation for a successful company.

THE IMPORTANCE

Being the source of our future buyers and planners, the merchant trainee programme is of immense strategic importance to our business and contributes directly to the success of our Merchandise Departments. As a result, a great deal of financial, human and physical resources have been made available to ensure its success.

THE PROCESS

Our cutting-edge training approach combines tailored on-the-job coaching and mentoring, formal training, HR support and ongoing progress assessment and career development.

HEAD OFFICE

Head Office is the hub of our business and is the main point of contact for the public, suppliers etc. To keep operations running smoothly and successfully, we employ only the best people across all areas of the business; people that complement our values and business philosophy.

GRADUATES TRAINEE PROGRAMME

The Graduate Trainee Programme equips interns with the necessary skills, knowledge and experience and grooms top candidates for merchandising positions within Truworths. The Programme ensures a succession strategy for the critical merchant planning and buying areas of the business.

We are focused on developing staff, promoting from within wherever possible, and are committed to Employment Equity when recruiting both internally and externally.
