Aldi to create 200 apprenticeship roles in 2022

On this episode of Talking Shop I’m joined by Alain Bejjani—former Group CEO of Middle East retail giant Majid Al Futtaim, and author of the definitive new book, NEXT: Leading Through the New Realities. Drawing on his childhood in war-torn Beirut, and his experience steering a $9.5bn dollar retail and lifestyle empire through a global pandemic, Alain brings an unmatched perspective on leadership under pressure. Today, we break down his crisis survival playbook for retailers operating in distress. We discuss why resilience must always outpace efficiency, the four assets a brand must protect at all costs, and how to turn macro-turmoil into a long-term direction that scales.

Aldi has announced it is looking to recruit 200 new apprentices across the UK in 2022.

It revealed applications are now open for one of the UK’s largest supermarket’s apprenticeship schemes, with opportunities across store, logistics and HGV driver roles.

Store apprentices at the retailer can earn £198 per week in year one, rising to £295 per week in year three. Meanwhile, those in logistics and driver roles can earn £196 and £328 per week respectively.

According to the retailer, the apprenticeship push forms part of Aldi’s nationwide expansion drive, with the supermarket expected to create a further 2,000 permanent roles across the UK this year.

Kelly Stokes, recruitment director at Aldi UK, said: “Apprentices of today are the leaders of tomorrow, so we’re on the lookout for some of the most hardworking and ambitious individuals to join our team.

“By taking part in our apprenticeship scheme, individuals can learn the ins and outs of the sector at one of the fastest-growing retailers in the country, while also receiving in-depth skills and training along the way.”

She added: “As we continue to grow as a business, we’re constantly looking for more amazing colleagues to bolster our team – and that includes across all ages, roles and backgrounds.”
