All about our Internship Programmes

If retail’s your thing and you’re intrigued by the Aldi story, this is your chance to gain the perfect insight. Our Internship programmes offer intensive training, so you can see how we tick from every angle. But you'll also learn how you tick. As you tackle brand-new situations, you'll find out just how much more you have to offer. Whether you join us on a Retail Management or National programme, you’ll be in the thick of the action, experiencing real responsibility and rare exposure to the internal workings of our business. 

Please note that our Internship programmes are available to students who are required to undergo an Internship programme as part of their course. If your course has a required Internship programme element, you are eligible to apply.

“I was so impressed with the amount you cover on the placement, and how the year is planned out in such a way that you’re constantly exposed to new challenges. I’ve always found food marketing and eCommerce interesting, and I really enjoy being in such a customer-focused environment. In the few weeks I’ve been here, I’ve already been given a good bit of responsibility. It’s a fantastic way to learn – the constant motivation, training, and development. I really admire how great Aldi is for that.”

  • Retail Management Internship Programme student in 2019
  • Joined the National Buying Graduate Programme in 2020

“Getting to know people, flexibility and adaptability are key qualities you’ll need. You’ll be rotating between departments and working on so many different projects, so I’d say being able to utilise your skills in different areas is definitely advantageous. Aldi are great because they plan everything out for you, so I knew where I was going to be every day and at what time. I got to work with a variety of different teams and meet all kinds of people. In a multinational company like this, that sort of thing is so helpful as it gives you an understanding of how it all connects. That’s been so beneficial for my career.”
