John Lewis opens graduate schemes
The John Lewis Partnership is to open applications for this year’s graduate schemes on 1 October.
Last year the Partnership received 15,000 applications for the schemes. This year they will have an increased focus on IT as the retailer looks to underpin the omni-channel growth of the business.
David Hunn, director of IT delivery at John Lewis, said: “I’ve been with the business for 25 years now and have watched technology go from being something that supported the business, to being an integral part of every aspect of it. Whichever scheme you join today, you will see how technology plays a vital part in the running of our omni-channel business.”
Five schemes split across the John Lewis, Waitrose, and John Lewis Partnership divisions of the business will be aimed at students graduating in 2016 or those who have already graduated. Areas covered will include Waitrose leadership, John Lewis Partnership finance, John Lewis Partnership technology, John Lewis buying and John Lewis merchandising.
