SPAR Switzerland is one of the most successful training companies in Swiss retail trade. Recently, 110 young professionals received their certificate of competence after completing their apprenticeship examinations in one of the four professions offered at SPAR: Fully Trained Merchant, Retail Expert, Retail Assistant and Logistics Specialist.

Training plays a major role at SPAR Switzerland and is led by supervisors and trainers of the SPAR Academy. The academy provides diverse and practice-oriented training, complemented by various internal courses, including preparatory courses for the final exam. In addition to the four existing training professions, SPAR Switzerland will soon include training for Transportation Experts.

Laura Pironato is one the 110 graduate apprentices and will soon be working as an Assistant Near-food Range Manager. She is benefiting from the interesting career opportunities at SPAR Switzerland, which also offers her the chance to choose the road to independence, for example as a franchisee in the successful SPAR Partner system.

Laura was very well prepared during her training: “As a trainee I was able to learn a lot about the company. Through my permanent employment after my training I am able to use this knowledge and the acquired skills. I look forward to getting to learn more about the connections between various departments and additional processes. “
