Our Stronger Starts Retail Apprenticeship delivered by Lifetime Training won’t just give you a stronger start towards an exciting and rewarding career with us, it will support you to develop new skills, build your confidence and learn about all areas of retail, as well as getting hands-on practical experience of working in different areas of our store. We’ve partnered with The King’s Trust, one of the UK’s leading youth charities who are experts in supporting young people to transition into work with confidence. If you have the passion and commitment to succeed, this could be a fantastic opportunity, you could even become a Shift Leader at the end of your apprenticeship.
The apprenticeship is delivered entirely in store and takes a minimum of 12 months to complete. You’ll spend time doing a range of activities such as marketing, business and technology and completing learning on a tablet device you’re provided with. You’ll then get a chance to practice your learning on the shop floor. As part of the apprenticeship programme, you may need to achieve qualifications in Maths and English called functional skills. These qualifications are the equivalent to holding GCSEs in those subjects.
Once you’ve completed the programme, you’ll be awarded your Level 2 National Standard in Retail, which is equivalent to 5 GCSE passes.
The King’s Trust is a registered charity in England and Wales (1079675) and Scotland (SC041198).
