Welcome to April’s LEAP news. We’re excited to share with you what’s been happening in the world of LEAP this month. Claire McCarthy, Leadership and Career Solutions Lead, tells us a little more about our Graduates and how you can take your own LEAP!
A huge well done to our colleagues who have completed their apprenticeships over the past month:
Mia Watson, Team Manager in our Stourbridge store, achieved a Distinction in her Retail Team Leader Level 3 Apprenticeship
Rana Sidhu, Customer Service Assistant in our High Street Food Market, also achieved a Distinction in her Retail Team Leader Level 3 Apprenticeship
Congratulations Mia and Rana – this is a fantastic achievement and is a result of all your hard work and commitment.

Since January 2022, we’ve had 62 colleagues complete an apprenticeship with us:

At the end of their apprenticeship programme, our colleagues need to sit an End Point Assessment which is assessed externally and is graded either Pass, Distinction or Fail. 61% of our colleagues achieved a Distinction in their End Point Assessment, with the remaining colleagues achieving a Pass, which is a fantastic result – well done to all our apprentice graduates!
