AB Vassilopoulos (Ahold Delhaize Group) offers the chance to maximize your fullest potential through 3-year work experience in both the retail operations and other functional areas. Within this great role, you will be challenged to acquire solid grounding in relevant industry knowledge, grow your skills through continuous learning, develop leadership capabilities and progress your career with us. Upon successful completion of the program, you will land in a management-level position.
As a trainee you will go through an extensive rotational training and development program, in order to learn about different operations and broaden your understanding of our business end-to-end. During the first 1-year rotation, the purpose is to gain retail industry knowledge through hands on experience. Through this period, you will learn about store operations by working across different store departments and gain leadership experiences. The second rotation will be in Commercial Merchandising (e.g. Category Management, eCommerce etc.) and you will further understand the strategic role of commercial functions within overall business strategy. Lastly, you will spend the last year in a functional role, which will foster your post-program career within the organization.
During the program, you will also have international exposure. Your participation in the Global Community will allow you to virtually connect with fellow trainees and program alumni from different cultures sharing experiences on a global level that will help you grow rapidly. Furthermore, trainees may have the opportunity to participate in an international assignment at one of the local brands of Ahold Delhaize Group.
