So, by the time you come to take up the reins of management, you'll be ready for anything. And in our world, anything really can happen. So your ability to spot an opportunity - and develop and run with it - will be guaranteed to get you noticed.

Our Culture
At this stage in your career, flexibility is key. Whereas some graduate training programmes box you into a defined area, at Sodexho, you'll get to experience all areas of our business. So you'll never get pigeon holed. Instead, you can build on your strengths, develop your weaknesses and explore whole new areas that may have never even appeared on your radar before. The overriding benefits of the comprehensive exposure our scheme offers are plain to see.

We've 55,000 people spread across our 3,500 UK sites. And because you'll rotate through every area of our diverse business, there'll be plenty of opportunities for you to travel. We also believe wholeheartedly in giving something back and enhancing life at a local level. This is reflected in our involvement in Business in the Community and our work with Education Action Zones. In fact, one of the key areas of your training programme will be related to our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). It's the natural extension of our commitment to improving quality of life - whether that's providing mentors for pupils or participating in charitable activities.
