32 Tesco PLC Annual Report and Financial Statements 2010
Our people at a glance
As we grow our business we’re developing our people to become
leaders for the future.
China Graduate
Programme –
recruiting tomorrow’s
leaders today
We believe that businesses perform best when
they are run by local people for local customers.
However, we also understand the importance of
sharing knowledge and experience around the
Group. Our China Graduate Programme helps
balance both these requirements whilst ensuring
that we recruit top talent for the future to grow
with the business.
Each year we recruit a small number of high-
potential graduates who are fluent in both English
and Mandarin. The graduates spend seven
months being trained, supported and developed
in the UK before taking up a specific role in China.
As with all our graduates, we are committed to
equipping these individuals with both the
technical and leadership skills they will need to
progress through the business.
This unique scheme has been running for four
years now and is gaining a strong reputation
amongst university leavers. Last year we attracted
almost 1,000 applicants for just 12 places. Previous
years’ graduates have gone on to managerial roles
across a variety of functions in China.
