Footgear is opening a Supply Chain N6 Internship for Technical and Vocational Education and Training graduates who still need workplace experience to obtain a National Diploma. The temporary programme offers exposure to stock allocation, procurement, logistics and distribution, with submissions closing on 21 July 2026.
The internship is based in Johannesburg North and is expected to run for between one and two years. Remuneration is described as market-related.
Candidates need an N6 certificate in Supply Chain Management, Logistics or Business Management. They must also require workplace-integrated learning to complete their National Diploma.
How does Footgear turn N6 theory into practical experience?
Supply chain qualifications cover how products move from suppliers through warehouses and eventually reach customers.
The Footgear internship gives graduates an opportunity to see those processes operating inside a retail business.
Interns will learn how stock is allocated to stores, monitored across the business and replenished when levels begin to fall.
They will also gain exposure to supplier communication, purchase-order tracking, warehouse processes and supply chain reporting.
This practical experience can help close the gap between completing N6 theory and obtaining a National Diploma.
What will the intern track across stores and the warehouse?
The successful candidate will assist the Supply Chain team with stock, supplier and distribution activities.
Responsibilities include:
- Supporting stock allocation and replenishment
- Assisting with inventory tracking
- Preparing and updating supply chain reports
- Monitoring stock levels across stores
- Monitoring warehouse stock
- Capturing supply chain information accurately
- Maintaining supply chain data
- Following up with suppliers
- Supporting warehouse operations
- Assisting with distribution processes
- Tracking purchase orders
- Updating purchase-order information
- Identifying stock discrepancies
- Escalating shortages to the appropriate team
- Supporting supply chain administration
- Assisting with reporting requirements
The intern will need to work carefully because inaccurate information could affect stock availability, purchase orders and deliveries to stores.
Which N6 qualifications fit the programme?
Footgear is considering graduates who have completed an N6 certificate in one of the following fields:
- Supply Chain Management
- Logistics
- Business Management
Candidates must need workplace-integrated learning to obtain their National Diploma.
Applicants should ensure that their N4, N5 and N6 certificates are available because Footgear requires certified copies from all three levels.
Why do numerical accuracy and Microsoft Excel matter?
Retail supply chains depend on accurate information.
An intern may work with stock quantities, purchase orders, store allocations and warehouse information. A small capturing mistake can therefore create a larger problem elsewhere in the supply chain.
Candidates should demonstrate:
- Strong numerical accuracy
- Attention to detail
- Basic Microsoft Excel ability
- Good written communication
- Good verbal communication
- Planning and organisational ability
- Problem-solving skills
- Time management
- Accountability
- Reliability
- Teamwork and collaboration
Basic Microsoft Excel skills are advantageous rather than compulsory. However, candidates with spreadsheet experience should make it visible on their curriculum vitae.
What can successful candidates gain from Footgear?
The programme gives interns experience that aligns directly with their academic training.
Successful candidates can gain:
- Practical workplace experience
- Exposure to retail supply chain operations
- Experience with stock allocation
- Inventory tracking skills
- Understanding of procurement processes
- Exposure to warehouse and distribution activities
- Supply chain reporting experience
- Professional mentorship
- Structured workplace learning
- A stronger foundation for a supply chain career
Working in a fast-paced retail environment can also help interns understand how supply chain decisions affect stores and customers.
Footgear notes that preference may be given to candidates from designated groups in line with its Employment Equity Plan.
Itumeleng’s Insider Tip: Place your N6 qualification and workplace-integrated learning requirement near the top of your curriculum vitae. Highlight Microsoft Excel, inventory, procurement, logistics and numerical skills. If you completed a supply chain project at college, add two or three lines explaining what you analysed or achieved.
Which documents must candidates upload?
Footgear requires a complete set of supporting documents.
Candidates must prepare:
- Updated curriculum vitae
- Certified copy of a South African identity document
- Certified copy of the N4 certificate
- Certified copy of the N5 certificate
- Certified copy of the N6 certificate
- Academic transcript
Applicants should make sure that every document is clear and correctly certified before starting the online submission.
The qualification names and dates shown on the curriculum vitae should match the certificates and academic transcript.
How can candidates submit before the deadline?

The reference number is FG-2803.
Submissions close on 21 July 2026. Candidates should upload their information before the final day to avoid technical delays or incomplete documents.
