  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I have really enjoyed my apprenticeship program so far, It has massive improved my people skills and communication skills. It has allowed me to learn and grow in a sector I had never worked in before. Its also allowed me to gain new skills and learn off of people who have worked in the sector for many years.

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • My program has had some structure to it after 2 and half years for working for the company. At first it was too structured and I felt I didn't have to knowledge I do now because it was fixed shifts, then I felt it was so unstructured that I couldn't get anything done at work so I had to do it at home. Now I have a balance for it all.

  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • Because I feel Aldi is a company that has allowed me to not only grow in my role but grow as a person. it has not only given me knowledge and skills in my role but for life aswell. Aldi has really helped me become the person I am today.

I had a false confidence through all the stages and it allowed me show my team my personality and working ethic.
