Tesco’s Stronger Starts programme offers amazing opportunities to learn, earn and of course grow; but we know that applying can sometimes feel a bit daunting. Here’s what you can expect and how to make your application stand out.
Step 1: Finding the Right Programme
From Retail and Maintenance to Finance and Technology, Tesco offers a real variety of apprenticeships. Each one gives you the chance to earn while working towards a nationally recognised qualification.
Take time to read the role descriptions carefully on the Tesco Careers site. Think about your strengths. Are you a people person, or do you prefer solving practical problems? Matching your skills and interests to the right programme is always the first step to success.
Step 2: The Online Application
Once you’ve found your ideal role, it’s time to apply online. Tesco’s application form is straightforward. You’ll fill in your details, share your experiences and explain why you’d like to join. Be enthusiastic, be specific, but above all be honest. Remember, you don’t need loads of work experience. Tesco are looking for potential, not perfection.
Step 3: The Assessment Process
If your application stands out, you’ll move on to the assessment process. This might include online tests and a virtual or in-person interview. You’ll also have the chance to show off your teamwork, problem-solving and communication skills.
Top tip: don’t overthink it. Tesco’s team wants to see you. Your attitude, curiosity and motivation matter most.
