Unemployed South African youth can apply for Clover YES Learnerships 2026/2027 in Boksburg, with 12 months of practical work experience in secondary distribution and route monitoring.
The programme is based at Clover’s Atlas branches and is offered in partnership with the Youth Employment Service, commonly known as YES.
If selected, you will work close to the systems used to monitor delivery vehicles, track route performance and support the movement of products through Clover’s distribution network.
Applications close on 14 September 2026.
What will you do during the learnership?
You will support Clover’s Secondary Distribution team by monitoring how delivery vehicles follow their planned routes.
A large part of the work will involve using Daily Route Management systems to compare planned delivery activity with what is actually happening on the road.
You will be expected to identify problems, report delays and escalate issues to the relevant managers when necessary.
What will you monitor on delivery routes?
You will track several parts of driver and vehicle performance.
This can include:
- Unauthorised stops
- Speeding
- Excessive idling
- Entry into restricted areas
- Harsh braking
- Delivery delays
- Planned versus actual kilometres
- Driving hours
- Standing time
- Route sequence
- Vehicle allocation
The purpose is to help the distribution team understand whether deliveries are following the planned route and schedule.
How will route technology fit into the work?
You will use Clover’s Daily Route Management system as part of your daily responsibilities.
The system helps the team monitor delivery activity and identify where routes are not performing as expected.
You may need to check reports, identify inactive routes, flag incorrect geo-fencing and make sure issues are handed over correctly between shifts.
This gives you practical exposure to the technology used in modern fleet and logistics operations.
What is geo-fencing?
Geo-fencing uses digital location boundaries to monitor whether a vehicle enters or leaves a specific area.
In this programme, you may need to identify cases where geo-fencing information is incorrect and escalate the problem.
This is useful experience if you are interested in logistics technology, fleet tracking or transport operations.
How will you help improve delivery performance?
Your work will help the team compare planned delivery activity with actual performance.
For example, you may monitor how long a vehicle spends at a delivery stop and report when the turnaround time is longer than expected.
You may also identify cases where a driver follows a different route sequence or where actual distance and driving time differ from the plan.
These checks help managers respond to delays and improve how deliveries are organised.
Will you work with reports?
You will help extract daily, weekly and monthly reports for the Project Manager.
These reports can be used to track operational patterns and identify areas that need attention.
You will also need to check Daily Route Management reports used during driver debriefing.
This means basic administration and accurate handling of operational information will form an important part of the learnership.
Who can apply?
You must:
- Be between 18 and 33 years old
- Have Grade 12 or Matric
- Be currently unemployed
- Not have participated in a learnership with another organisation before
The programme is designed to give unemployed youth practical workplace experience.
Which skills will help you succeed?
Clover is looking for candidates who are proactive, organised and comfortable working with other people.
Useful strengths include:
- Clear communication
- Teamwork
- Administrative ability
- Motivation
- Taking initiative
- Working towards results
- Collaboration
- Attention to operational detail
Because you will be monitoring route activity, you should also be comfortable working carefully with information and reporting problems when you find them.
What can you learn about logistics?
The programme can help you understand how products move from a distribution branch to customers.
You can gain practical exposure to:
- Fleet monitoring
- Route management
- Distribution operations
- Delivery performance
- Transport technology
- Operational reporting
- Driver performance monitoring
- Shift handovers
This can give you a useful starting point if you are interested in logistics, transport, supply chain or distribution careers.
What happens between shifts?
You may need to hand over unresolved calls or queries to the next shift.
This is important because distribution operations can continue across different working periods.
A clear handover helps make sure that problems are not missed and that the next team understands which issues still need attention.
Where could this experience lead?
The skills developed during the programme can support future entry-level opportunities in areas such as:
- Logistics Administration
- Fleet Operations
- Route Planning
- Distribution
- Transport Coordination
- Supply Chain Operations
- Delivery Monitoring
- Operations Support
The strongest value is gaining real experience with the systems and processes used to manage deliveries at scale.
Where is the learnership based?
The programme is based at Clover’s Atlas branches in Boksburg, South Africa.
You should consider whether you can travel reliably to the workplace for the full 12-month programme before applying.
How do you apply?
Applications must be submitted online through Clover’s recruitment portal.
