Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I have to help both store assistants and managers complete day to day activities whilst also completing my own at a high standard with good customer service. I must show hard work, friendliness and creativity.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I enjoy waking up to have to do something. I really enjoy earning money whilst learning as it gives me a bit of income whilst I learn the ins and outs of the company.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have built up my confidence to talk to random people and also work as part of a team. You must play to everyones strengths in retail.

How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
The managers are always willing to help if I ever need it aswell as my tutor. It is all done online and is easy to access as long as I have connection to the internet.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
The Aldi staff and managers are great at helping me out when I need it. If I ever need a shift change they will help me out or if am ever stuck on something then they are always willing to help.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
As it’s all done online sometimes its hard to reach my tutor. If I ever have any problems then they usually get back to me within 1 working day.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
I always take things my tutor tells me into account when working on the shop floor and the even in the warehouse. All the information is there to help me so I always try to use it.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
1/5
There is a work night out every 3 month or so. Other than that we don't get up to much outside of work.

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Aldi?
