Packaging Learnerships At Heineken

Although the name Heineken seems very well known, the company Heineken Beverages is actually quite new. It came about with the merger of Heineken, Namibian Breweries and Distell - the country's biggest winemaker.

The combined company now has a strong portfolio of beer, wine and soft drinks.

Young people particularly want to work at the company as it is regarded as a good employer and there's the benefit of being involved with an innovative company like this.
