Ackermans Learnership Programme
Our story began in 1916 when Gus Ackerman opened the doors to the very first Ackermans store in Wynberg, Cape Town. His vision was simple: making quality products affordable to everyone. Today, there are more than 740 Ackermans stores in five countries, and that vision is at the heart of every single one of them. We know that your family comes first and always will. You should be able to pay less without compromising on quality or style, freeing up cash for the important things in life. It starts with award-winning quality products at unbeatable prices but also includes exciting promotions, easy access to stores and friendly service. We call it Bringing Value to Life and it’s what we work toward every day. Ackermans is committed to making a sustainable impact. We’ve named our CSI programme Ububele, which means kindness and generosity.
We’re always looking for superstars to join us. With over 100 years in the business, more than 10 000 employees working in our Support Centre, Distribution Centers and in our stores across 5 countries – we’re passionate about retail, fashion and people.
We call our employees Phadimas, which means “shine” in northern Sotho, so whether you’re super creative or analytical, you might be the next star to join our team!
