The “Araz” supermarket chain contributes to the creation of new jobs and the promotion of employment across the country.
To support this mission, the Araz Academy implements the “First Step in Career” internship program. In 2022, 33 participants graduated from the program; in 2023 — 71; and in 2024 — 117. The participants gained practical experience in various departments such as Human Resources, Finance and Accounting, Quality Control, Stock Management, Marketing, and IT. Some of the young participants who joined this paid internship program have been employed within the relevant departments of the company.
The main goal of the internship program is to contribute to the development of the country’s human resource potential, provide university graduates with the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a professional work environment, and support their employment. The project enables young people to learn and gain experience in different areas of the retail sector.
At the initial stage, participants of the Araz Academy receive theoretical training, after which they are assigned to various departments within the company for practical experience. Young professionals who begin their careers at Araz participate in different projects and day-to-day operations, thereby developing their knowledge and skills. Moreover, they take their first steps toward building a successful career within the company.
