STORE MANAGER TRAINEE 

The programme will consist of some theoretical training modules, but the majority of your training will take place in our stores.

In the stores, your daily routine will look like the everyday life of a Store Manager. You will have the opportunity to work closely with various Store Managers and they will help you get ready for the job's many areas of responsibility through lots of sparring, support and focus. At the same time, you will have ongoing follow-up and sparring with your District Manager and HR Business Partner.

Your tasks in the store will range from selling, helping customers, receiving goods, training employees, recruitment and reviewing sales figures.

During your traineeship, you will go through five training modules lasting one week each, taking place in either our Ireland or UK Head Offices. Here you will meet JYSK's other Store Manager Trainees and have workshops with various skilled and competent trainers.

Each module contains theory, case work, role plays, group work and team building activities.  

Each training module offers a lot of team building activities, which bring you and the other Store Manager Trainees closer together. When out in the stores you will have mentor days with the opportunity for lots of sparring and learning.
You will also encounter a great atmosphere in the team, as everyone shows up with the same intention; to train, develop and become the best.

"Completing the SMT program has been such a rewarding journey. I'm incredibly grateful to have been given this opportunity to learn so much and to meet amazing people along the way. The connections and friendships will stay long after this chapter was closed."

Eve, Store Manager, I026 Tullamore

“Without a doubt, one of the best training programmes I’ve experienced across all the companies I’ve worked for. It goes into real depth and focuses on the key areas every manager needs to understand to perform effectively. What truly sets it apart is how the trainers ensure the content is fully understood, not just delivered.”

Paul, Store Manager, I003 Navan

“My experience with the SMT at JYSK has been incredibly rewarding, it pushed me outside my comfort zone while giving me the support and tools I need to succeed. The programme helped me grow both professionally and personally, building my confidence, leadership skills and understanding of what it takes to run a successful store.”
