All of our graduates begin their programme together in our Group offices where you will spend one week on an induction programme. You will get to meet all the people you will need to know as well as understanding a little about how we work. The next step will be getting to know our business from the front line back. All graduates will spend two weeks in store getting to understand the real drivers in the business. This placement we feel is an essential part of the programme before you start in the marketing function and a further four week placement will be scheduled throughout the duration of the programme. Over the next two years you will follow a structured programme in a real role with real responsibility with all the support necessary. The first half of the programme will entail getting to know the marketing department structures and processes and developing the ability to analyse data and develop consumer insight. You will develop your commercial acumen through hands on experience under the guidance of your manager. In the second half of the programme you will start to operate independently by taking responsibility for the management of key areas of the brand plan be it supporting in the delivery of the local marketing plans or managing key elements of the value for money communications plan such as press or handbill. Throughout the programme you will be supported by a Brand but as you progress through the experience, you will be given more responsibility and more ownership of clear objectives. Unlike other programmes we give the hands on experience and responsibility from the very start along with a superb personal development programme.
