Aldi has launched a free virtual work experience programme for anyone over the age of 13, to help them discover retail careers.
The online course, developed with Springpod, is designed to offer insights into various retail roles, from warehouse and store operations to office positions.
Participants will engage with videos and guidance from Aldi employees, as well as interactive quizzes and activities. Upon finishing the programme, they will receive a certificate to strengthen their CVs or future applications.
“At Aldi, we understand that not everyone has access to in-person work experience. That’s why we’ve created a flexible virtual programme that allows participants to learn at their own pace, fitting around their schedules,” explained Lisa Murphy, Aldi UK training and development director.
“This initiative not only provides young people with a real insight into what it’s like to work at Aldi but also makes it possible for them to experience this, no matter where they are in the UK.
“Since launching, we’ve already attracted more than 2,000 sign-ups and hope to inspire even more young people to explore careers in retail through this accessible and engaging platform.”
