This graduate scheme at Aldi, which I would be way out of my depth with and I mostly remember because it’s absurdly well-paid for an entry level graduate position, $62,000 in ’murican-money, doesn’t ask for anything that I would actually think of as a skill that you could be paid money to do. You need a 2:1 degree, a driver’s license, and a certain package of personal virtues and personality traits. There are a lot of things like that for graduates, and it’s mostly those things that I’m looking at, with the issue being a lot of choice and difficulty identifying which ones are better than others.
That’s a skill you learn while you’re on the scheme, the applicants don’t need to have the skill already, they need to have the personality traits and qualities that would enable them to quickly learn how to be managers. A qualified, experienced manager, someone who could list “managing people and logistics” among the things they can do that people might pay them to do, would not be an appropriate applicant for the scheme and could probably find better management positions that weren’t entry-level.

Managing people and logistics is a very desirable and highly-paid skill.
