Pret’s School Leavers Programme now open for applications
Pret A Manger is looking to recruit 35 students to join its year-long programme.
The programme aims to give school leavers who don’t want to go into higher education an opportunity to start climbing the career ladder straight away.
Pret’s School Leavers Programme Manager Kate Nicholls said, “2015 will be the fourth year of the programme and we’re proud to have seen some truly inspiring participants come through so far”.
“From our initial intake, we now have two Team Leaders and one who’s now a Manager, less than three years after leaving school.”
“We don’t expect our participants to have lots of work experience under their belts or a CV full of qualifications. Instead we’re looking for passionate, enthusiastic, motivated individuals who are excited by their next challenge and raring to get going. Being able to get to one of our shops by 6am is also a must, so they shouldn’t be too adverse to early starts!”
Available to school leavers across the UK, each successful applicant is given a full-time shop based role from late September, as well as access to Pret’s training, support and work skills courses.
By the end of the year, participants qualify with an Advanced Level 3 Apprenticeship and a guaranteed, permanent role within the company.
