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, Warehouse Operations and Driving, there’s more than one way to succeed here. You just have to want it.

Aldi apprentices are everywhere. You might see them stacking shelves, loading vehicles or sitting behind the wheel. They love bringing their personality to work and achieving the best results. But why read about the Aldi type, when you can actually see it? Watch our videos and find out more about our amazing Apprentices.

Parents guide to apprenticeships

Although we care for over 45,000 people in our UK business, we know it’s a tricky business to look after someone’s future. But, the great news is, we’re one of the most reputable retailers in the global business market today. We’re winning all kinds of awards and opening new stores all the time. And the things that make us a great retailer also make us a great employer.

We offer clear progression and great support so our apprentices achieve personal success. But we also place a lot of importance on giving back to the community. So we encourage everyone to offer that little bit more. But don’t just take it from us. Watch an apprentice’s mum talk about what it’s like to watch her son go through the Aldi Apprenticeship.
