Supply Chain and Logistics Graduate Programme
Launch your retail career with this 24-month rotational graduate programme, earning a CILT-accredited qualification. Enjoy excellent benefits, hybrid working, and professional development.
The Asda Supply Chain and Logistics Graduate Programme is a 24-month, full-time opportunity with rotational placements and structured career development. With hybrid working (minimum three days in the office), the permanent contract provides a pathway to a CILT-accredited qualification. Benefits include a discretionary bonus, pension, colleague discounts and support services, making it attractive to graduates in business, supply chain or related fields.
What You’ll Do Day-to-Day
Graduates engage in forecasting, planning, and working directly with teams across Asda’s supply chain and logistics operations. You’ll spend twelve months in supply planning and twelve in logistics, gaining first-hand experience in project support, data analysis, and process improvements. The diverse workload ranges from supporting store launches to collaborating on seasonal promotions and operational initiatives.
Pros: Career Growth and Recognition
The clear highlight is career development—this programme not only rotates you through key areas of the supply chain but also provides an industry-recognised qualification. The benefits package is impressive, including a healthy pension, regular bonus opportunities, and strong health and wellbeing support. Asda’s culture places strong value on inclusion, flexibility, and ongoing learning.
Cons: Fast-Paced and Competitive
The demanding pace of retail and the size of Asda’s supply chain mean graduates must be adaptable and resilient. The rotational nature, while broadening skills, may not suit those looking for immediate specialisation. Additionally, the hybrid working model requires flexibility in your week-to-week schedule, sometimes needing extra office or field days depending on the business area.
Verdict: Who Should Apply?
This graduate programme stands out for its structure, progression, and support. It’s most suitable for those who thrive in a data-driven environment and want responsibility early. It is an excellent springboard for a career in supply chain logistics—best for self-starters who embrace change and teamwork.
