Lidl has today launched its inaugural retail leadership degree apprenticeship, with 51 new apprentices joining the scheme.
The degree apprenticeship is being offered by Lidl in partnership with Kingston University, with starters set to earn up to £46,000 a year by their fourth year of study.
The four-year programme is “designed to combine academic study with practical retail experience” and will see students “spend time getting hands-on experience in store” alongside “regular visits to both Kingston University and Lidl House” to develop retail experience.
Chief human resources officer at Lidl GB Stephanie Rogers said: “I’m thrilled to welcome over 100 talented individuals to Lidl GB through these programmes. Our partnership with Kingston University for the retail leadership apprenticeship is a significant milestone and it’s exciting to see it come to life in our 30th year of operating in Great Britain.
“Equally, our graduate scheme continues to attract bright minds eager to start their careers in this dynamic industry. We are committed to investing in the next generation of retail leaders and look forward to supporting them as they grow with us.”
Alongside the launch of its new apprenticeship degree, Lidl has today also welcomed 50 new graduates through its annual graduate scheme.
