The Pret Graduate Programme, London UK
Your first role after university should accelerate your career — and place you at the heart of a global brand.
At Pret, we’ve always believed in doing things a little differently. We make fresh food by hand every day, we care deeply about people, and we move fast. The Pret Graduates Programme is designed for graduates who share that spirit — people who are curious, hands-on, and hungry to learn how a global brand really works.
Over this programme, you’ll rotate through key parts of Pret’s world from operations to marketing, finance to HR and more. You’ll discover the pace, energy, and heart that keep Pret running — and the craftsmanship and care behind every cup of organic coffee and freshly made baguette.
You won’t be watching from the sidelines. You’ll own real projects, contribute to decisions that impact customers and teams, and learn from leaders who started out just like you — on the shop floor, hands-on, sleeves rolled up.
A helping hand
These are our values. Everything we do comes back to these, whether you’re stirring up soups in the kitchen or crunching numbers in the office.
Happy teams, happy customers
Our people are the stars of the show – and when they’re happy, so are our customers. So we’ll cheer you on, celebrating every contribution and supporting you when you need it most, too. It’s all about empathy and heart, so you can be your best at every stage of your Pret career.
Amazing standards every day
That means outstanding quality. For our fresh, handmade food, and for you. Expect top-notch training programmes that help you make your mark alongside a team that works with passion, skill, integrity, confidence and pride.
Never standing still
It’s exactly what it sounds like. Passion for our products, customers, partners and people inspires us to constantly innovate and boldly move forward – with energy and excitement in everything we do. In short: get ready for a very exciting career.
Doing the right thing
Since day one, we’ve been dedicated to making a positive impact. We hold ourselves accountable and act with integrity in everything we do – whether that’s working with The Pret Foundation or looking after our people.
When you finish, you won’t just know Pret: you’ll be part of Pret — ready to step into a meaningful leadership role.
