鈥淎 good Lidl grad is someone who is not afraid to challenge the status quo. When you get to the grad scheme your opinion really matters. You need to be honest with your opinions and challenge the idea that you need to agree with everybody.鈥

鈥淲hen you start, you enter into mentorship with people that were once in your position, they were graduates themselves. Seeing how far they can go in a short time makes you aspire to do the same thing.鈥
