Tesco Stronger Starts Retail Apprenticeship Programme This is one of the few apprenticeship programmes that doesn’t require the young people to have any qualifications or experience when they start. After completing the programme, they will gain a Level 2 National Standard in Retail which is the equivalent of 5 GCSE passes. The apprenticeship will take a minimum of 12 months to complete. The programme will include a blend of learning activities and hands-on experience on the shop floor. Those joining without a GCSE grade pass or equivalent in maths and English, will gain these during the programme. We know that the transition from education to the world of work can be a daunting, so we have a network of people to support them every step of the way, this includes expert 1-1 pastoral support from the Prince’s Trust, a dedicated Lifetime apprenticeship coach as well as our store team.
