      I joined the Lidl Ireland award winning Graduate Management Development Programme in September 2015 as a Communications Graduate. The intensive 18 month training programme gave me the opportunity to take on a leading role on multi-disciplinary projects. The programme provided an in-depth understanding of the key business functions through a comprehensive training programme that covered Store Management, Regional Management and a Head Office placement where I trained on each of the teams in the Communications department: Public Relations, Internal Communications, Social Media, and Corporate Social Responsibility. I graduated from the programme to a permanent position as a PR manager in December 2016. Show less
