Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
At the moment, I have been working on the shop floor and managing the team and I can work all roles now. I have now started my management training which involves only managers which gives me more responsibility.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
2/5
I enjoy the programme as it gives me more responsibilities and learning opportunities at a quicker pace however the training is slow and could be improved on.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
2/5
I have developed my skills since starting my apprenticeship however the training the store is providing is slow as I should have already started some things as I’m over a year in now.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
It is well structured as in I know what I am doing from the online learning part however sometimes actually at work I don’t get consistent training
How much support do you receive from your employer?
2/5
Not that much, I feel that I should be given more responsibilities however they haven’t trained me enough to allow that so it’s slowing things down when I feel it shouldn’t have.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
My training provider and tutor are great, I have no faults with them as they get back to me quickly and support me if needed.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
I understand things behind the role more clearly through doing the provided coursework from the training provider however Aldi need to also do their part to contribute more I think.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
No

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Aldi to a friend?
Yes
Why?
For someone who likes an active job and being able to adapt and work flexible it is great and I love that however for someone wanting a quick qualification it is not the best.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Aldi?
Think what your end goal is and push for it
