About Premier
Premier South Africa proudly marks a remarkable milestone—200 years of shaping and nourishing the communities it serves.

Since its establishment in 1824, Premier has evolved far beyond its early roots as a staple food producer, transforming into a dynamic force within the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector. A pivotal moment in Premier’s journey occurred in 2011 when investment group Brait acquired a majority stake in the company. This strategic shift opened the door to a bold new phase of growth and innovation, enabling Premier to diversify its offerings and expand its footprint beyond core food products.

Today, Premier stands as one of South Africa’s leading FMCG companies, generating an impressive annual turnover of R18.6 billion. The company employs over 8,600 people across a broad network of operations that include 13 bakeries, 7 wheat mills, 3 maize mills, and numerous facilities producing a diverse range of goods—from biscuits, pasta, and mageu to animal feed.

About the Premier Maize Miller Apprenticeship 2025
Premier is searching for applicants who would like to obtain practical work exposure to prep for a future career as a Maize Miller through their apprenticeship. The Premier Maize Miller Apprenticeship is a comprehensive three-year program that combines self-directed theoretical learning with hands-on practical training. Apprentices will gain real-world experience by working rotating shifts, including weekends and public holidays, to fully immerse themselves in the milling environment.

Throughout the program, apprentices are expected to successfully complete all SAGMA modules, meeting the pass rates set by management. After each module, they should demonstrate a solid understanding of the relevant department or area within the milling supply chain and be able to carry out key tasks associated with that stage of the process. In addition to formal learning, apprentices will be responsible for completing various duties assigned by the Production Manager or Head Miller, which may vary based on operational needs.

While engaging in their SAGMA coursework, apprentices will also apply their knowledge in real milling environments. They will rotate through designated areas aligned with their learning modules, allowing them to translate theory into practical skills. The program is designed to ensure that apprentices develop a deep understanding of all essential functions within the milling supply chain. Under the mentorship of experienced professionals, including the Production Manager and Head Miller, apprentices will gradually build the expertise needed to operate a milling facility at designated capacity. They will also be trained to maximize extraction efficiency and ensure the consistent production of high-quality maize products suitable for human consumption.
