Your training plan

You'll be working towards a Level 6 Supply chain leadership professional (integrated degree) apprenticeship standard, including Functional Skills if required. You’ll spend four years with our expert team, gaining the sort of practical knowledge you simply can’t develop in the classroom. You’ll experience the full breadth of our global supply chain as you take on placements in different areas of our business.

You’ll get broad experience as you carry out your placements, delving into the detail of how materials get from A to B, the packaging we use and even making improvements to this complex supply chain in a mix of day-to-day tasks and project work. As well as getting on-the-job training working on real-life projects, you’ll also study for a BA (Hons) degree with Sheffield Hallam University.
