As the world’s largest consumer co-operative, we can offer you a graduate programme that is altogether different. Like any successful business we’re driven by profit, but as a co-operative we’re also guided by our ethics. So when we offer you a place on our graduate programme, you can be sure that you’ll be able to fulfil your commercial ambitions without compromising your values. You’ll maximise your potential across our nine distinct businesses, while we’ll show you how all of our businesses develop and source ethical, quality products and services, and then reinvest a share of the profit they generate into our communities. This is what differentiates us from PLCs – we put our profit to good use.

“The Co-operative Group is a modern business, a trusted brand and a very varied organisation. Among other things, we have food stores serving thousands of communities across the UK, we’re the largest funeral service provider in the country, and we are also Britain’s largest farmer.”
