What is the SAB Talent Challenge?
The Talent Challenge is an opportunity for recent and future graduates to work for the largest and fastest-growing beer company in South Africa.
Through the programme, SAB offers young people an employment opportunity while immersing the selected participants in SAB’s business and culture.
This immersive program is built to test the participant’s abilities to solve real and challenging business problems across Commercial, Supply Chain, and Technology categories. This journey will provide them with networking opportunities and exposure to SAB’s senior leadership, where they will present their business challenge proposal during the Grand Final Interview.
What the SAB says
“We are proud to announce the launch of the SAB Talent Challenge. It’s important that all public and private stakeholders play their part in investing in young talent,” said Bridget Makhura, Vice President of People, SAB.
“The SAB Talent Challenge is our way of upskilling young people with soft and hard skills that will build their confidence and aid them in positioning and differentiating themselves in the job market. It will also empower them to navigate the country’s corporate landscape by exposing them to real-life business challenges.”

The teams will be assigned to the different divisions, and they will receive the selected business challenge. The team with the best solution will be invited to the SAB’s offices and will have the privilege of presenting to SAB’s senior leadership.
