Business Diversity Internship Programme (This Job is now closed)

At Tesco, inclusion means that Everyone's Welcome. Everyone is treated fairly and with respect; by valuing individuality and uniqueness we create a sense of belonging. Diversity & Inclusion have always been at the heart of Tesco. It is embedded in our values; we treat people how they want to be treated. We always want our colleagues to feel that they can be themselves at work and we are committed to supporting them to be at their best.

We want people from diverse backgrounds at every level of our business, so that our workforce better reflects the society that we serve. We launched our Business Diversity Internship in 2022 to ensure we attract talent to our business that we can nurture and grow. This paid, 10-week programme over the summer will give you real-life experience in a key area of our business. 

It’s an exciting opportunity and definitely more than just experience - we’re counting on you to support our customers’ needs and to work with trusted partners to help serve our customers, communities and the planet a little better every day. You’ll need to work collaboratively across our teams and wider business to deliver a project, building valuable skills to support your future career.

During this Business Internship, you’ll be encouraged to try new things, push yourself and learn from mistakes while you get hands-on experience. You’ll have access to a wide variety of workshops and resources, online and in-person, to help you develop skills like presenting with confidence and effective influencing, as well as looking after your wellbeing. And don’t worry, you’ll be supported throughout your 10-week internship by your manager and your buddy.

A successful internship with us can guarantee your place on our Business graduate programme when you graduate - before you’ve even started your final year of study!

Who we are looking for

We’re looking for self-motivated and entrepreneurially-spirited undergraduates, who can work collaboratively to deliver a project in our business. You don’t need previous work experience to apply.

What to expect

You’ll be encouraged to try new things, push yourself and learn from mistakes while you get hands-on experience. You’ll have access to a wide variety of workshops and resources, online or at our on-site training academy, to help you develop skills like presenting with confidence and effective influencing, as well as looking after your wellbeing. And don’t worry, you’ll be supported throughout your 10-week internship by your manager and your buddy.

2022 Intern: "The support I received during the internship has been profound from start to finish. Tesco has created a culture that allows employees to build a rapport that goes beyond your day-to-day activities. There is a great sense of belonging from employees".
