RETAIL

Marks & Spencer


A perfectly balanced combination of on-the-job learning, classroom training and real-life project work. A hand-picked development path and fast-track route into senior-level management. A chance to become one of the future leaders of a well-known, quality brand. This is not just any graduate scheme. This is the M&S graduate scheme.

Over the course of around 12 months, you'll take on between three and four placements, designed to give you a thorough grounding in retail. At the same time, you'll receive on-the-job training and regular classroom tuition to help you develop both expert knowledge and personal skills in areas such as negotiation and leadership. And you'll be making real decisions about real business issues from the very first day you start.

As you might expect, we're not just looking for any graduates. We're looking for the best around. People with the drive and ambition to make the most of all the opportunities we offer. And people who can match the energy, vision and ideas that have kept us at the forefront of our industry for so long.

CASE STUDIES FROM THIS EMPLOYER

 
Michelle-Smith

Michelle Smith - Mature Students

"I left school with two A Levels, which weren't particularly good, and no idea about what I wanted to do. I fell into a job with a bank, which I then left to go travelling for two years. When I got back, I became a part-time waitress in a local pub and later became a licensee for a group of pubs, which I did for 12 years. When the people I worked for decided to sell the chain, I started thinking about studying because it was something I'd always regretted not doing."

Catriona-Duncan

Catriona Duncan - Commercial Manager

"When I left university, I wanted a job that would be people-focused and retail is just that. You are interacting with customers, as well as teams of colleagues, so you are always surrounded by people."
