  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • I have learnt many skills at Aldi, and also developed them even further. Being on the tills helps your maths as you have to work out the change in your head.

  • Well for the first year it's £5.40 an hour, and though this isn't a lot, it does get better through the years and will all be worth it at the end. However if I compare this to other apprenticeships, I feel very lucky to be on this pay
