PRESTATYN Tesco Superstore welcomed students from schools in the town as part of The Prince’s Trust Achieve programme.

This programme is delivered in partnership with education settings right across the UK.

It is designed to support and empower students aged 11-19 to develop skills and experience for life, while building their confidence to realise their potential.

Across March and April, a total of 26 World of Work tours have taken place within Tesco stores, covering the whole of the UK and empowering almost 300 young people with the valuable skills required for the retail industry.

At Tesco Prestatyn, students enjoyed a guided tour of the store, gaining firsthand insight into the diverse range of departments and roles available within both Tesco and the retail industry in general.

From customer service and fresh produce to bakery and logistics, the tours showed the breadth of career paths available within the supermarket environment.

Alongside the tour, students had the opportunity to experience a practical mock interview and gain valuable insights into the key skills and behaviours valued at Tesco, such as teamwork, communication, and problem-solving, equipping students with the tools they need to thrive in a retail workplace.

Students had the opportunity to hear the personal story from a dedicated and successful team member at Tesco Prestatyn showcasing the opportunities for career progression within Tesco.

Tesco manager Adam Smith said: “The team here at the Prestatyn superstore thoroughly enjoyed welcoming local students into the store to both highlight the vast range of roles available within retail, as well as provide practical advice on how to get ahead as they enter the world of work.

“The group were fantastic, and it was great to see their enthusiasm throughout the day. We hope that the experience will help inspire the students and we were proud to support the local community here in Prestatyn once again.”
