Your training
Most of your training will take place at the sharp end – on the shop floor.
You will gain experience of working in more than one selling department, as well as in some behind-the-scenes functions such as finance and the supply chain. This will be supplemented by formal learning and development, which will teach you all you need to know.
Completely flexible and tailored to your individual needs, the scheme lasts for as long as you need its support. Your Department Manager will be available to offer support and guidance, and the Personnel Manager will be able to advise on your training needs.

If you demonstrate the necessary ability, you can progress to the level of Department Manager – with sole responsibility for running a department and managing a team – and beyond. Promotion depends on your ability to perform the tasks required, and your personal qualities and management skills.
