17. Retail Apprenticeships For SChool Leavers Marks and Spencers
Get a head start on your peers. Take your first steps on the retail management ladder with a high street icon. Experience every conceivable aspect of store operations, get accredited and start earning sooner.
Our Management Scheme for School Leavers is evolving. We’re investing our decades of experience in this area to form the Retail Management Apprenticeship for School Leavers. Combining in-store experience with accredited academic learning, it’s the perfect path into retail management for smart, ambitious school leavers… following in the footsteps of many of our senior leaders.
Over 12 to 18 months, you’ll experience retail in real time. Food, Fashion, Home and Store operations; managing £multi-million budgets; leading people and teams… it’s all part of the package, with loads of coaching and mentoring to keep you on track. Plus you’ll spend time working towards your Level 4 Higher Apprenticeship in Retail Management.
By the time you’ve finished, you’ll be ready to take on the role of a Commercial Manager and responsibility for an entire department. After that, there’s no limit to where you can go.
Requirements
Simply put, we want high-calibre people. You should have or expect to gain at least three Highers (grade A-C)
