Training and development is a continuous process at George, because there are always new things to learn in your current role and new skills to develop for your continuing progress. And as a world class organisation, we offer excellent training and development.

The beginning...

It starts with us giving you the best possible welcome at George so that you feel part of the team even before you start your job! Our award-winning induction programme - appropriately called 'Best Welcome' - will take you on a tour of George House and introduce you to some of the George team. Through that first week you'll gain a full insight into our business, our culture and our way of working. You'll meet more people and understand how the different teams work at George. You'll also be welcomed into the wider Asda/Walmart family when you attend your 'Best Welcome' at Asda House in Leeds.

… and beyond

We know the right training for your career development is important to you and it's important to us too. We have a mixture of technical and behavioural development at George through our Technical and Leadership Academies. There are also a number of other development tools that we use including off the job activities, external training, development breakfasts with inspiring speakers and mentoring as we appreciate everyone has their own way of learning! But it's not just about off the job development at George; we have a fantastic culture of 'learning on the job' which means your line manager and team will give you responsibility and the support you need from the start.

People Succession

We are passionate about seeing people succeed in our business. If you have the skills, potential and drive you can achieve great things in George. We have a robust people succession process that enables us to identify a colleague's potential and what could be next for them. If you drive your development and perform, we'll do everything we can to support your succession through the business. In addition we are huge believers in team work and a culture that enables people to make transitions within and across functions, developing you as an individual and us as a business. The more flexible you are, the more opportunities will come your way as we continue to develop and grow as a business.
