Tesco: does its graduate programme sponsor a UK visa?

No published policyTesco Graduate Programme

Unconfirmed. Tesco publishes no sponsorship policy for its graduate programme, so we cannot state a firm answer. Tesco Stores Limited holds an active Skilled Worker licence plus a GBM Senior/Specialist Worker route (no Graduate Trainee route). tesco-careers.com returned an HTTP 504 gateway timeout on every one of several attempts today (both direct fetch and via the small-model fetcher), so no salary or sponsorship text could be reviewed.

What is covered: Skilled Worker

The catch: tesco-careers.com returned 504 gateway timeout on every attempt today (11 Aug), a site-availability issue, not a content finding; needs re-check when the site is up.
