THE TRAINEE PROGRAMME

Designed for those who want to make a difference, the Trainee Programme invests in your training and development in a continuous and strategic way. The aim is to prepare you to become a future leader within the Group.

Year One is designed to help you gain greater self-awareness, have a better sense of what you enjoy doing and an understanding of whether you belong here.

In Year Two the focus is on providing you with in-depth insights about the key business areas to help you better understand the impact of the decisions you will be making down the line, as well as gaining fast-track access to career opportunities and helping you build a successful career.

THIS IS THE RIGHT PLACE IF YOU:

  • want to be part of an expanding international group whose ambition is to ensure that high quality and accessible products reach people’s homes every day;
  • see yourself as part of a cross-functional team making decisions that have a direct impact on society;
  • want to be proud to work for an organisation that has a positive impact on society and is committed to the best environmental and social sustainability practices;
  • are looking for a place where your uniqueness is valued, your potential is constantly explored and where you can build a career that reflects who you are;
  • have recently graduated or are about to graduate with a Master’s degree;
  • are fluent in English and Portuguese.

YEAR ONE

TRAINEE PROGRAMME | YEAR ONE

Seed your purpose.
Discover. Experiment. Learn.

The Year One of our Trainee Programme is meant for you to know yourself better, broaden your horizons and find out if this is where you want to build your career.

THE EXPERIENCE

DISCOVER
Get to know our culture, our business and our way of working, discover what you really like to do and understand if this is where you belong.
EXPERIMENT
Two assignments in two different functional areas are just what you need to explore, develop different skills, and start to visualise your career path.​ You can explore an area of your choice and another area you wouldn’t even think of, and understand where you see yourself.
LEARN
You will be given a tutor for each assignment, who will guide you through the entire experience, provide ongoing feedback and encourage your development so that together we can assess your fit with our business and values.

WHAT IS IN IT FOR YOU

  • a work experience designed with your personal development in mind.
  • the possibility to learn more about yourself and gain greater clarity about your future.
  • the opportunity to join a group that ranks among the top 50 retailers in the world.
  • work alongside senior professionals who have a lot to teach you.
  • get involved in challenges that will take you out of your comfort zone.
  • earn a competitive salary.
  • possibility to access Year Two of the programme.

WHAT HAPPENS AT THE END OF YEAR ONE

It’s decision time for both of us.

We have a purpose, and we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to find their own.​ So, after completing the Year One of our Trainee Programme, we will face an important decision together: is this the place for you?​

​If so, you will move on to Year Two, dive into the world of retail and move one step closer to your future, embracing what it takes to be one of our future leaders.

But if you think that you should explore the world and take a different path, or if we’re not a perfect match, we will go our separate ways.

YEAR TWO

TRAINEE PROGRAMME | YEAR TWO

Feed your career.
Dive In. Grow. Accelerate.

Year Two is about gaining powerful insights about the business so you can fully understand the impact of your decisions and take on positions of high responsibility within the Group.

Year Two of the programme can only be accessed once completing Year One. If you finish Year One and are a good fit for the Group, you will automatically become a candidate for Year Two. All candidates will go before our President and CEO as well as some Managing Directors for a final selection panel.

THE EXPERIENCE

DIVE IN
Fully immerse yourself in the retail business through three dynamic operational experiences that will help you understand how our core business works.
GROW
For each assignment, you will get a tutor who will guide you through your day-to-day work, giving you in-depth knowledge of the business and provide constant feedback.
ACCELERATE
You will have a mentor, someone in a senior position within the organisation, who will give you guidance and advice to boost your development and accelerate your career.

WHAT IS IN IT FOR YOU

  • salary increase and access to fringe benefits.
  • privileged insight into retail and a deeper knowledge of the business and organisation.
  • possibility to take on positions of high responsibility.
  • ongoing development opportunities.
  • clarity over the career path you want to take.
  • a 360° perspective of the Group, its companies and functional areas.
  • fast-track access to career opportunities within the Group.
  • close monitoring by the HR department.
