The lifetime programme is structured well in terms of learning on off the job hours, but ALDI lacks in on job training.

3/5
I recently have received a lot more support than previous with my employers but this lacked at the begining of my contract.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
Most support is given on on the job training but little on off the job training such as e-learning.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
The qualification itself has helped me improve in my role as a manager through new information and insight into customer care and experience, etc.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
