Okay, so look — if you’re not working, not studying, and kinda stuck right now, listen up. Triton Express has this learnership happening in 2025, and they’re looking for people from Port Elizabeth. It’s in freight handling, which is basically helping move, pack, load, and manage goods. You don’t need experience. Just willingness to work and learn.
First off — who are they?
Triton Express isn’t new. They’ve been in business since, like, the late ’80s — 1987, to be exact. Moving stuff from one place to another all over southern Africa. Deliveries, big loads, logistics. All of that. They’re a proper freight company, not just some pop-up. They’ve got clients in all types of industries and they’ve built up trust over the years.
What’s this learnership thing?
It’s not just a class. It’s a 12-month thing where you’ll be learning and working. Some days it’s theory in a training room. Other days, it’s hands-on at their warehouse or depot. You’re part of the team while learning the job. And at the end? You get a real qualification — a National Certificate in Freight Handling — if you pass.
They haven’t dropped the starting date yet, but you don’t want to wait around. These things close fast.
What kind of work would you be doing?
Honestly? A bit of everything. You’ll be learning the ropes from the ground up. Stuff like:
- Loading and unloading trucks
- Helping get vehicles ready to go
- Sorting out paperwork
- Keeping the place clean and organised
- Receiving stock, checking it, dispatching stuff
- Making sure packages are stacked right
- Packing, picking, moving inventory
- Basically getting involved wherever help is needed
They’ll train you, you’ll get a mentor, and they’ll help you through the process. You’re not being thrown in alone.
You can apply only if you meet these:
