Get paid while you study.

An interesting development in the job world.

Lidl have launched a retail management degree at level 7 with Dublin Business School which pays you while you study.The total programme is 30 months with each 3 month college term followed by a 3 month work placement in Lidl.
Starting salary is €16,000 rising to €20,000 in year 3. College fees and VHI health care is also included.

Work/Study learning programmes have been around for a while now. What's different about this is you don't have to be an existing employee. They're actively trying to attract school leavers with 250 Leaving Certificate points plus. If you're over 23 mature student regulations apply.

Interestingly there is no requirement to work for Lidl afterwards, though they may offer you a management position.

So if you're interested in retail,want a degree, but are not in a position to go to College, this could be a great opportunity. Alternatively if you don't fancy 3 full time years of study but want a degree in retail this could be ideal.

Note the degree has not been accredited with HETAC yet, so find out what stage the validation process is at, before you start the course, That way you know whether any changes to course content or duration are likely.
