RLD Progam I'm On
The following is a VERY short description of the progam I'm on here at Canada Safeway:
The purpose of the RLD program is to develop Store Directors who will lead the future by delivering superior customer service, achieving expected operating results and being a leader/coach for their store associates. Openings in the program are based on Division needs and not by individual District needs. The program is individualized, with the average time allowed for completion being two years. Each trainee is assigned to an exceptional Store Director ( usually a store manager ) for a portion of the training. This Store Director will serve as a coach, leader and trainer for the Retail Leadership Trainee (RLT) as he/she progresses through the training. The RLT will train in two phases, which include a combination of classroom, independent study and on the job training. Following the successful completion of Phase I (approximately 5 months), the RLT may be placed as an Assistant Store Director or may be placed in a Special Project or Department Management position until such an opening is available.
Phase I :
You will spend the 5 months at a specially selected training store. During that time you will attend classes, work in each major department in the store, learn about the financial reports used to measure sales results, acquire knowledge of the duties of managing a shift, and complete a detailed written analysis of one department as well as the entire store.

Phase II :
You will work as an Assistant Manager, and continue to receive additional management training. You will then develop and present three detailed store projects. At the end of Phase II, you should possess the skills necessary to perform successfully in the Store Manager selection process

ive got a question! i was recentely promoted to a manager trainee at safeway. im preparing for the rld program.i was granted full time at top wage....it is sure starting to get tough and i was just wondering if for some reason it gets too much and i decide to back down...do i lose my full time status and wage as well?
Im in RLD here in the Denver division, the way it works here is if for any reason you back out or dont make it they will try and find you a store where you will be placed with the same position and status as you were prior to entering RLD so if you were a head clerk they will try and find you a job as a head clerk etc
