Do you ever find trainee schemes that are not "Graduate" ones? I'd like to retrain away from my current career (management of some kind sounds interesting).
I do have a degree, but it's far from worth mentioning.
Thanks

my company (Arcadia) provides Retail Managament Training Programmes and Graduate management training programmes - the first you just need a few A levels, the second you need a degree of any kind however its exactly the same programme throughout the year, they just expect you to achieve more if you're on the second one!
That's developed for you to become a brand/store manager at the end of the year, but this is the first year we offer graduate schemes in buying, merchandising, finance etc. So if you do have a degree there is more of an option to work in different areas of retail without actually working in a store.
It is quite good to be fair, the training in my brand specifically for new managers I've found has been fantastic.
http://www.arcadiagroup.co.uk/promostores/arcadia/flash/index.html that's the main website, just go to the recruitment pages from there. Hope it helps.
Yes they will have recruited for 2005 as the new intake start on Sept 20th.
You should be able to apply from a couple of weeks time for the 2006 intake though if you're really interested.
Im not sure about any other companies that do the grad schemes as I was an internal candidate for Arcadia which is how I found out about it, I didn't research into it in general before hand.
I know that there are other places that offer similar grad schemes (I know M&S and NEXT do, quite sure Debenhams do aswell), but not sure about an 'A' level entry scheme other than Arcadia.
There's always options for you if you got onto the 2006 to fill the next year with until you start, work wise or travel etc. So I wouldn't rule it out just because it's quite a way away.
Cheers
It would be worth writing to them aswell because we hold a lot of student lock-in's and advertise for student ambassadors to work for head office within the universities promoting the lock-ins, and other such events.
Hope that helps x
