At Asda, we’re so much more than just a Supermarket – we’re a centre for
communities across the country, helping people Save money. Live better.
Whether we’re in our Stores, Distribution Centres or Head Offices, we
want to give our customers the best possible Asda experience. In fact,
we’re totally committed to making things better. Which is why we’ve
completely revamped our Graduate programme, giving super-talented
Graduates even more of a chance to shape our future.
The programme gives you a fantastic, wide-ranging experience of
everything Asda. You’ll get right to the heart of a massive retail
business - from life on the shop floor to making key business decisions
that could have a real impact on our success.
It’s tough, testing and hugely rewarding, so you’ll need to be up for a
variety of demanding challenges. It all starts with a six-month
placement in our stores. After this, you’ll either continue your
Operations journey, or add to your skills with eighteen months of
challenging Commercial placements. Whichever route you choose, you’ll
build up the experience and knowledge you need to become a future leader
of our business.
