Careers advice and planning

There was a few elements that made me apply for Aldi over other graduate programmes. The structure of the training programme was a big part of it for me. I was able to see where I could go with Aldi at the end of year one and beyond. Then the responsibility the programme offered from the start, along with the investment Aldi put into training their employees were also huge attractions for me.
