Motus Aftermarket Parts is looking for new talent to join its team in 2026. The company has set up two programs: a Graduate Programme and a Skills Programme. Both give you real work experience in the automotive parts field and help you build a solid career. If you’re a South African student or young adult who wants to learn a trade or get a job after university, keep reading to see if you fit the bill and how to apply.
What the job is about
The Graduate Programme is a year‑long training plan that mixes classroom learning with on‑the‑ground work. You’ll be placed in places like Johannesburg and Cape Town, where you’ll see how a big parts company runs day to day, from marketing to finance to IT. The goal is to give you practical skills and the knowledge you need to succeed in a fast moving business.
The Skills Programme is for people who are still in high school or just finished it, but who don’t have a job yet. It’s also a full year of training that focuses on the automotive industry – from how to keep a supply chain moving to how to use the latest tech tools. This is a great chance to learn something that can lead to a steady job.
When to apply
Both programs close on 13 November 2025. So if you’re interested, you’ll need to submit your application before then.
Where the programs take place
- Graduate Programme – Johannesburg & Cape Town
- Skills Programme – Limpopo, Gauteng & Port Elizabeth
Graduate Programme details
This program is for people who already have a diploma or degree in one of the following areas:
- Business Administration
- Business Management
- Finance
- Information Technology (IT)
- Logistics
- Supply Chain Management
- Sales and Marketing
The 12‑month course will let you work with professionals in the industry while also learning the theory that makes the business work. You’ll get to see the whole process – from ordering parts to getting them to customers and beyond.
Skills Programme details
If you’re under 35, finished Grade 12 (Matric), and have never taken part in a SETA‑funded program, you could qualify for this program. You’ll need to be ready to stay for the entire year. This is a great way to gain skills that will help you get a job in the automotive sector, whether you want to work in a garage, a logistics company, or a tech support role.
