Aldi has launched its biggest-ever apprenticeship drive with 500 roles available across the UK – and dozens in Staffordshire.
The chain, which has around 20 supermarkets in Staffordshire, says 50 of the apprenticeship opportunities are based in the county.
The roles are spread across stores, logistics and buying, as well as for HGV drivers. Many them are Store Management Apprentices in places such as Rugeley, Uttoxeter, Hednesford, Cannock, Leek, Stafford, and Stoke-on-Trent.
Lisa Murphy, Learning and Development Director at Aldi UK, said: “We have found so many hard-working and ambitious people through our apprenticeship scheme over the years – and I don’t doubt it will be the same again this year.
“By taking part in the scheme and working at one of the country’s fastest-growing retailers, apprentices can learn all there is to know about the supermarket sector. Not only this, but the scheme provides them with new skills and nationally-recognised qualifications along the way, with help and support from some of the industry’s most talented people.
“We’re always on the lookout for more incredible colleagues to join the Aldi team – and that includes across all ages, roles and backgrounds.”
Aldi is set to open a new branch in Cannock – at Orbital Retail Park – this year, creating 40 jobs. There are also plans for a new store in Cheadle.
