At Tesco, it is natural that the worker behind the cheese counter might become a Business Development Director

World Education Day on 24 January highlights the role of individuals and organizations in promoting quality education and lifelong learning.

Tesco offers a number of opportunities for the professional development of its colleagues, including its own educational institution, the Tesco Academy, which last year trained more than 3,400 employees. The career path they take depends on the colleagues involved. At Tesco, it is natural for a student cashier and trainee to become a store manager, and there is also a business development manager who started out as a cheese counter.
