Learn, grow, celebrate success: The Retail Trainee Programme at Mister Spex

If words like commitment, passion and perseverance ever took a physical form, it was certainly in the shape of our trainees this year. The path our Retail Spexies have taken has been no ordinary one. It has been a journey of learning, self-discovery and ultimately triumph.

The remarkable journey began back in April 2023: In Berlin, our store employees from Germany and Austria were introduced to the intricacies of store management and felt the heartbeat of the company behind every pair of glasses, every service and every customer contact.

Our Spexies had qualified internally by successfully participating in the assessment centre, a preliminary stage of the trainee programme. The aim of the trainee programme is to recommend oneself for higher tasks within the stores and to take the much-cited "next step", for example from Sales Advisor to Assistant Store Manager.

In a world that is constantly evolving, our virtual trainings offered trainees the opportunity to address the most important issues of our time. And while lean management has been writing its own chapters since the middle of the year, our trainees had the chance to experience its impact first-hand and understand why Mister Spex has adopted this approach for the entire company.

September offered our trainees a special opportunity: the store swap was not only a physical change of location, but also a deep dive into the many challenges and triumphs of Retail. Each store had its own tune, and our trainees learned to dance to each beat: for example, Spexies from stores with lower footfall gained experience in the highest-turnover of our stores.

The final week marked the highlight of the trainee programme. At our Berlin headquarters, the trainees put the skills they had learned into practice and organised a graduation ceremony to mark the end of their programme.

Today they stand there, ready to conquer the world with their knowledge and passion. We see them not just as trainees, but as the visionaries and leaders of tomorrow. Mister Spex is proud to be a part of their journey and congratulates them wholeheartedly.

At Mister Spex, we know: We write success stories best together. After all, that's the most fun!
