Further Scholarship Information and Application
Technology is the central nervous system of our £8.2 billion gross sales
business. It underpins every aspect of the retail life cycle and is an
equal partner in the business, offering proactive solutions that give us
an edge in a highly competitive environment. Innovation is key – but
only if it brings genuine commercial benefits. State-of-the-art gadgets
are always of interest, but they must add value to the business. We look
to technology to improve the bottom line, enhancing efficiency and
driving sales by making multi-channel retail possible. So it’ll come as
no surprise that we need the best and brightest people to lead this
critical function and continue delivering effective solutions.
As part of our newly developed training scheme, you
will not only develop your skills within technology, but also build the
qualities required to be a future leader of the business. There’ll be
the chance to work with graduates from other schemes on business-focused
projects, and to gain a unique insight into the impact technology has
on the future of our organisation.
The training
The training – which includes an international placement
during year two as well as the opportunity to study for PRINCE2 – is
designed to give you a solid foundation on which to build a rewarding
long-term career.
-> You will develop your business skills and knowledge in a range of
technical and non-technical areas as well as constantly broadening your
understanding of retail and seeing the impact that technology has on our
operations
-> You can progress along the programming or analysis route, or alternatively, move into project management.
Things to bear in mind
- You'll be based in central London or Bracknell
- We have technology functions in all three of our divisions, John
Lewis, Waitrose and Partnership Services. The John Lewis and Waitrose
technology functions develop and deliver the IT capacity needed to
achieve our ambitious growth plans, while Partnership Services develops
and manages our shared technical infrastructure and common systems such
as Personnel and Finance used across the whole Partnership.
- You don't need an IT-related degree but should have or expect to
graduate with a minimum 2:1 degree in any discipline and GCSE Maths and
English grade B or above or equivalent. Please note, you will be
required to provide evidence of your qualifications.
Salary
The salary for the scheme is £25,500 and you will receive benefits such
as the Partnership annual bonus (which is a proportion of your salary;
in 2012 this equated to seven weeks’ additional pay), non-contributory
pension scheme, a discount card, ticket subsidies and more besides).
