Apprenticeships

Everything you need to know about a career in retail

We’re not like other retailers. If you have the drive, commitment and grab-life-by-the-trolley-handles attitude, every day can be amazing here. As an apprentice, you’ll learn the ins and outs of Aldi – one of the fastest-growing retailers in the country. It’s hands-on, practical work combined with theory, as you work towards a qualification and a permanent position at Aldi. We’re not going to lie, this is hard work, but it’s also incredibly rewarding. And with opportunities in Stores, Logistics and Driving, there’s more than one way to succeed here. You just have to want it.

It’s a tricky business caring for someone’s future. Although we look after people on a much larger scale (there are over 28,000 people in our UK business), we understand the challenges you face. You just want to make sure they’re getting the right start in life, the right support, and the right opportunities for a blossoming future.

 

The great news is, Aldi’s one of the most reputable retailers in the global business market today. We’re winning all kinds of awards and new stores are springing up all over the country as we rapidly increase our market share. The things that make us a great retailer also make us a great employer. Everyone knows what’s expected of them, progression is based on merit and it’s easy to see how you can achieve personal success. You could say that your son or daughter’s future is in very capable hands.

 

We receive thousands of applications from apprentices every year, and many make it through the programme to achieve great things in our business. Their parents are often in the background having the same experiences and asking the same questions. Which is why we spoke to a current apprentice’s mum about what it was like to see her son go through the Aldi Apprenticeship. And you can watch that right here.

Meet our Apprentices

From our stores through to the road, Aldi apprentices are everywhere. You might see them stacking shelves, loading vehicles or sitting behind the wheel. Wherever they are, they all have one thing in common – an Aldi personality. They love working hard to achieve the best results. And they’d never leave a job for someone else to do. It’s that spirit that has made us such a successful retailer, and why our people are such a success. But why read about the Aldi type, when you can actually see it? Well, you can do just that by watching these videos.
