Diageo also offers a three year Global Graduate Programme where you'll be introduced to many of Diageo leaders in different countries so you can see the differences - and the similarities - in how they work around the world. You'll also enjoy the backing and support of a mentor and buddy who will give you an introduction to Diageo's culture and help you successfully navigate your career.

Gain an international perspective

During your three years with Diageo you'll grow your expertise in a number of areas. These could include how Diageo innovates and grows its people, brands and the environment, how they make their products and the manufacturing process, how they bring together the materials and ingredients for the production of their products, plus how they ensure they get out in the market for customers to buy. And you'll get an international perspective.

The products Diageo supply and the challenges they face vary from country to country, so it's important that you understand how Diageo operates as an international company. They'll help you build a diverse global network and give you the opportunity to join an international organisation.

“Diageo has given me the opportunity to work in a range of locations, from a small seaside town in Scotland to the busy city centre of Budapest. I love the diversity of roles that you get to experience on the Supply Graduate Programme, it has helped me develop so much, both professionally and personally,” says Katherine Katherine, Demand Planning Analyst at Diageo.

What to expect

Working for a company of Diageo's size brings with it an enormous diversity of people and opportunities. They'll introduce you to a senior mentor, an international and/or local buddy, and a global network so you can experience different cultures and make new friends and professional connections.

You’ll also have the opportunity to take part in formal training designed to develop your personal and professional skills. Through virtual connect sessions, you’ll join a number of senior leaders and peers around the world to share ideas and thoughts on Diageo's business.

Plus, if you want it, there may even be an opportunity to live and work abroad and take part in projects that make a difference to local communities.

Who Diageo is looking for

Diageo looks for graduates who are both focused and far-sighted; those who can do a brilliant job right now without ever losing sight of the horizon. You’ll be the kind of creatively restless, energetic, team-spirited person who follows your instincts, takes educated risks and looks to champion, influence and inspire at every turn. Could that be you?

Diageo encourages you to apply where your true passion is, but whichever area you join them in you’ll find they employ the same approach to your development, providing you with two to three rotations within your chosen area over three years.
