Dublin

With over 6,000 colleagues across our stores, warehouses and offices in Ireland and Northern Ireland we are a big and ambitious team. We know our people are our greatest asset and our success is down to the commitment and dedication of our team. Training and Development. Career development and training are of major importance to us. All employees are provided with the training and support they need to reach their full potential and to progress within the company. Structured, on-the-job training is the foundation of our training concept, giving our employees the opportunity for further development both professionally and personally. At Lidl we believe that training is the most important investment we can make in our people. As the only City & Guilds/ILM Accredited Graduate Programme in Ireland, the Lidl Graduate Management Development Programme is a unique programme that is tailored for each graduate. Our exciting 18-month programme consists of several modules which will give graduates a full understanding of our business. Whilst on the programme you will receive a bespoke training plan designed around your career path and current skills. You will spend some time in our stores and warehouses to gain a thorough understanding of the key business areas. The programme gives you the opportunity to enjoy both personal and professional development through on-the-job training and a blended learning approach. Your Tasks. Retail Operations. A solid knowledge of operations is the foundation of everything that we do in Lidl, and as part of the Retail Operations Graduate Stream you will gain this knowledge through both practical experience in store along with accredited comprehensive workshops and training. As a Retail Operations Graduate, you will be based in one of our stores over the course of the 18-month programme. You will be fully trained in all the areas of sales operations right up to Store Management level with the potential to take over a store of your own or move to another area of the business. Starting at Customer Assistant level, you will become a member of a diverse and dedicated team, providing great service to our loyal customers. Next, you will continue onto Duty Manager training with responsibility for independent management of your store in the absence of the Store Management Team. You will also be given the opportunity to complete a placement in one of our departments in your Regional Distribution Centre. These teams are integral to ensuring that we continue to deliver the highest quality customer experience and working with them allows you to broaden your knowledge of operations and gain considerable insights into an important area of our business. You’ll bring this experience back to store for the final aspect of your programme – providing you with all the skills and tools you’ll need to step into a Store Management position. Our Store Management teams run a multi-million-euro business - you’ll have the opportunity to demonstrate your leadership skills by managing, motivating, and developing a team, while driving KPIs and delivering results.
