Learning Today, Leading Tomorrow
We arrived in the UK back in 1990 and are now one of the fastest-growing supermarkets with over 1,020 stores and 45,000 colleagues. Oh, and we’ve picked up a few awards along the way — including The Grocer Gold Employer of the Year in 2022 and 2023.
Voted 10th Best Graduate Employer by The Times Top 100, our Area Manager Graduate Programme isn’t just about getting your foot in the door. It’s about taking responsibility, gaining knowledge, and getting the support to lead a team — and a portfolio of stores — within your first year. With top-notch training and mentorship, you’ll be coaching and motivating over 100 colleagues in no time.
We also offer a range of Placement Programmes — a trolley-full of opportunities to kickstart your career. Whether it’s Retail Management, or Head Office, you’ll gain real insight into how Aldi makes EverydayAmazing. Our year-long placements come with intensive, effective training, giving you a 360-degree view of how Aldi runs. From day one, you’ll be thrown into the fast-paced retail environment, learning the ropes, and gaining invaluable exposure across multiple departments.
What’s more, we’ve got a range of Apprenticeship Programmes that give you the skills and support to take your career to the next level. 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. Whether it's our Career Starter Stores Programme, Store Management Programme, or Warehouse Operations Programme, you'll gain the skills and knowledge to kick-start your retail career.
