Employees covered by collective bargaining agreements

Employees covered by collective bargaining agreements

1 The proportion of employees was calculated with the exclusion of ALDI Poland, because no collective bargaining agreements have been concluded there.

Apprentices and twin-track degree students

Number of apprentices and twin-track degree students on the reference date 31 December

The vocational training model based on the German pattern is not used in all countries, and the data on the number of apprentices is therefore restricted to Denmark, Germany and France. The system used in Spain is currently not included in recording the performance indicators because the vocational training models are not identical. In Germany, a twin-track work/study degree course with in-service training is also offered.
