Nando's apprenticeships

Unlocking potential. Building leaders. At Nando’s, it’s the people that make the chicken.

Through our bespoke apprenticeship programmes, Lifetime is proud to help Nando's nurture talent, build a robust culture of learning, and equip their staff—the Nandocas—with the essential skills to become confident, impactful leaders who can drive the business forward.

Real world skills. Real world impact.

 

The Lifetime-Nando's apprenticeship programmes go far beyond traditional training. They are immersive, job-embedded programmes that help employees gain immediate skills and long-term perspective.

We help all individuals succeed, regardless of their background. As one Nandoca shared: "I am not very academic, but I've took up the challenge and here I am now happy and beaming with confidence." This structured development ensures employees return to their restaurants with a new mindset, knowing they "have more structure, they're more rounded, they have more knowledge."

Crucially, we focus on developing comprehensive leadership skills, with one participant noting: "I've come out knowing not only how to be an amazing friend... a manager, but also a great leader and knowing how to get the best out of all the team." This investment consistently pays off for Nando's, as management has seen: "Apprenticeships Add value, that's a fact. About 80% of the people that been with me through apprenticeship, they got promoted several times."

Lifetime develops and delivers custom apprenticeship and training programmes that create lasting value by investing in the potential of your people.
