Plus much more
Amanda Green, former Retail Graduate and Store Manager captures the experience perfectly.
“I can't think of another high-profile scheme where you are given such an opportunity to build both yourself and your own business side by side.”
That's more like it.
This is a fast-paced, two-year learning programme where you'll discover everything store management has to offer. At Asda, no two days are the same. You’ll complete a series of placements within your region, progressing at pace and taking on more accountability every 6 months. At times, you will need to deal with management issues such as disciplinary and grievances, as well as manage rota planning and holidays. The hard work and effort you put in is repaid knowing that you've made a difference to your colleagues, customers, and the communities we serve.
If you have the ambition to be a store manager of the future, the 2-year Retail Graduate Programme will guide you, prepare you and support you every step of the way. After two years, you’ll be on track to become either an operations manager within a large store or manager of your very own express store. That's what's possible at Asda.
