Retail Management Summer Internship Scheme
This is the chance to spend the summer of your penultimate year at university gaining invaluable experience. What’s more, it could greatly improve your chances of being considered for our graduate scheme after you’ve completed your studies.
Combining the practicality of working on the shop floor with the theory of running a successful retail company, this is a jam-packed six weeks based in one of our department stores.
The scheme focuses on general retail management and business skills. You’ll gain an overall view of trading and retail management, with exposure to different product presentations, stock control and selling techniques.
You can expect to meet and talk to senior branch management, and we’ll set a project on a commercial aspect of the business for you.
Things you need to know:
> Be prepared to work some weekends and evenings
> You’ll need to complete an online application. If you’re successful at application stage and pass all the online tests, you’ll be invited to an assessment centre
> You’ll have a performance review at the end of your placement to determine whether you could be recommended to move straight to the assessment centre stage of the next graduate intake for the Retail Management Graduate Scheme
> We ask successful candidates for the three branches where they would like to work in preference order and attempt to place them in one of those branches
> The placement is paid and dates are agreed on a mutual basis between you and the branch
