Academies
We're committed to developing rich, functional expertise through our Academies. We have core and advanced modules that leverage the best of internal knowledge combined with external global best practice, such as partnership to offer a mini MBA in Strategic Category Management with Deakin University through our Business Unit Academy.
Scholarships and accreditations
We're dedicated to providing our team members with opportunities to achieve externally recognised accreditations. From our partnership with Coursera in which we fund 1,000 scholarships a year to our Operational Excellence Diploma, functional Mini MBAs and our apprenticeship programs, there is plenty for you to sink your teeth into.
Operational leadership
We support Supermarket, Supply Chain, and Liquor team members achieve their leadership aspirations through our Operational Leadership talent pathway. Participants develop towards their new role through a blend of hands-on coaching, online activities, a leadership workshop, and on-job tasks and assessments where they put all their learning into practice.
Experience, exposure, and education
Learning happens in several ways and through different mediums and channels; it isn’t limited to a formal workshop. We learn by reading or observing. We also learn through our peers and leaders via feedback. Finally, we learn best by practising and having a go!
