*Our **Learning Hub *provides a shop window to our industry-leading learning and development opportunities, bringing together resources that support colleagues at every stage of their career journey.

It is home to our award-winning programmes, including leadership and colleague development resources, apprenticeship programmes, and our Retail Ready learning. Each has been carefully designed to build the skills, knowledge and capabilities that make the biggest difference in delivering a great job and creating opportunities for growth.

*Our **Lead Asda *curriculum now supports both colleagues and leaders and is accredited by the Institute of Leadership. This professional recognition is a hallmark of quality, demonstrating our commitment to providing high-quality learning experiences and ensuring our content reflects the latest thinking and best practice. It sets us apart and reinforces our ambition to help all colleagues develop, grow and succeed.

We are committed to helping colleagues build skills, realise their potential and progress their careers. Through apprenticeship opportunities spanning Levels 2 to 7, colleagues across our stores, depots and home offices can learn, upskill and reskill in areas critical to their future development and the future success of our business.

Alongside supporting our own apprentices, we help widen access to skills through the Apprenticeship Levy Transfer scheme and provide access to external learning and peer networks through our membership of the Association of Apprentices. Together, these initiatives help create pathways to opportunity both within Asda and beyond.

Our Asda Early Careers Team have created an online platform for staff leads to deliver a socially responsible project that is aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals in schools. This is designed for KS2 learners as well as pupils who attend Alternate Provisions or SEND provisions so that they develop key employability skills such as teamwork, confidence and innovative thinking. The project-based learning approach engages learners in a hands-on approach which encourages teams to be self-regulated learners who are aware of local issues and become active global citizens. Local Asda stores will be there to donate any supplied needed so that schools can deliver their meaningful project within local communities so they can create a sustainable change and impact positively on their people and environment.

This programme was developed so that young people from Year 9 could discover hidden careers within retail. This is achieved by delivering sessions throughout the year where they have been given the task of developing a sustainable product from a brief and along with activities to develop employability skills they will increase their confidence, creativity, teamwork and public speaking skills. To ensure the young people are producing a sustainable project they will learn about the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals with a focus on Responsible Consumption and Production and Climate Action as well as working with a variety of Asda colleagues to embed understanding.

Working virtually with students across the country, this programme aims to ensure young people are career ready as they will take part in various employability activities and be asked to solve a real-life business problem after analysing our latest ESG report. The young people will learn about the United Nations Sustainability Goals as it is proven to raise aspirations and by working as a team they will virtually engage with a mentor from Asda who will support them in creating a business solution as well as becoming aware of opportunities that the business has for young people when leaving education.

We attend careers fairs at key moments to share insights about our industry and to promote our early careers opportunities for graduates and apprentices.

We hosted our very own "Hidden Careers Fair" for young people to attend so they can discover careers within retail, talk to Asda colleagues from our various functions as well as learn about opportunities within our business. This hosted 300 young people from around Yorkshire last year with another one planned to help kickstart National Apprenticeship Week 2027.
