Part of the Wal-Mart family, Asda is one of the UK's fastest growing, and most successful retailers employing over 170,000 colleagues across nearly 400 stores, 25 depots and its head office, Asda House.
Asda graduates play a pivotal role in ensuring the expectations of more than 17 million customers are exceeded each week. For example, they could become a store manager and learn how to inspire up to 700 colleagues, or they could be part of the trading floor, negotiating with suppliers from the UK to the Far East to deliver every day low prices to Asda's customers. There are numerous opportunities for graduates to gain invaluable exposure to the exciting projects that keep Asda at the cutting edge of retail.
Asda also ensures it creates a thriving work environment for its colleagues. The organisation is proud of its unique culture which encourages graduates to reach their potential as quickly as possible and enjoy themselves along the way. Their achievements will be recognised and their feedback encouraged. These are just a few of the reasons why Asda was named Innovative Employer of the Year at this year's prestigious Oracle Retail Week Awards.
Asda welcomes all types of degree and its graduate programme covers a variety of areas from Retail Management, Trading, Ecommerce and Finance to Property and Construction, IT Management and Distribution Management.
Whatever the area, graduates take on early responsibility and make a real contribution to the business as they develop the skills they'll need to become a future leader at Asda.
