Management Apprentice Review

As a store apprentice we are given a taste of what it's like to run and operate a store. We are involved in everything from working stock to office paperwork. This includes managing the staff that work in the store.

This apprenticeship has really brought out confidence in my abilities and has taught me how to be a fair and responsible manager. I am also more confident with handling money and dealing with the public.

I feel as though Aldi could be more involved with apprentices by simply getting to know what kind of college work they are doing.

The Aldi apprenticeship scheme is still very new as it has only been running for 4 years so early problems are to be expected. I feel as though the progression from one year to another needs to be smoothed out as a lot of the time I feel as though I get loads of new responsibilities at the beginning of each year only for my performance to plateau once I have a firm grasp of these.

West Lothian College were always happy to help if I encountered any problems.

Yes

Aldi is a company on the up and offer one of the highest rates of pay for the job role. Aldi also likes to promote from within and hire young staff and students to give them a good opportunity. I feel as though it's a good place to learn and gain valuable job experience for either future jobs or a higher role in the company.

You need to be a hard worker in order to thrive in Aldi. You get out what you put in.
