Overview
Working for Aldi has been a great learning experience and has given me opportunities to manage stores with over 50 employees. I have worked on National and Regional projects which have been a great insight into the business model. I have run my own store which was such an achievement.
Skills
Before starting the placement I never had any management experience so I developed my management and leadership skills throughout the year from running my own store to pitching an idea which will be used regionally. I have also really improved on my confidence which has helped a lot going back to university and also future employment. Time management was also improved during this time.
Responsibilities
A lot of responsibility! In the first few weeks you will already be running shifts which then accelerates to running your own store.
Support & Guidance
You have a mentor during your placement which was great for support on a weekly basis. Also had updates with your director regularly on your progress.
Culture
Hard working and dedicated team.
Your Impressions
Great learning experience and learnt a lot about myself over the year
Yes
In the application process be yourself and research into the company. During the placement be prepared to work really hard and ask lots of questions. It is also down to you to push your training so make sure you are on top of that.
