  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • I am currently acting as a store assistant before starting my management training later on in the year. Therefore, I do the same tasks as other store assistants, for example putting stock onto the shelves, working delivery, maintaing a clean environment ( removing excess card cleaning up spillages ), I often operate a till etc.

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • Through working at Aldi I have become a more confident person as I am now able to speak to anyone whether it be a customer or colleague and not feel intimidated or scared, before working at Aldi I struggled with communicating with others.

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • Currently I am really enjoying my apprenticeship, I think it’s good how you learn the basics of working at Aldi first and then build on this knowledge through management training! Also, the wage is a lot better than many other apprenticeships so that’s an added bonus.
