Apprenticeship boost

Britain’s largest private sector employer, Tesco, is developing an apprenticeship scheme for over-24-year-olds. The trials, which will run throughout 2005, will give apprentices experience of working across different areas of the store. It already offers a 16-24-year-old scheme which has led to Tesco becoming the first UK retailer to have its in-house training accredited by the Qualification and Curriculum Authority. “Keeping the scheme simple, making it relevant and getting it right for staff has taken hard work, but working closely with all our partners has made this happen,” said group HR director for Tesco, Clare Chapman.
