I love everything about my job. I'm challenged on a daily basis, I'm surrounded by people that inspire me to do better and I can see working my way up to the top here. I think the sky is the limit and Sobeys has so many paths I could take. I'm excited to see where mine leads.
 
 

At Sobeys, we offer career opportunities across the country in retail stores, retail support centres and corporate offices, all requiring an array of skill and education levels. We believe in training and promoting our employees from within our organization. This is why we are very proud to be one of the first companies in Canada, the first company in Nova Scotia and first grocery retailer to be approved as a CA Training Office in industry.

After the completion of the program, there are a number of career opportunities available within the company. There are currently over 50 designated CAs working in various areas of our organization that used the experience gained with their CA designation to move into roles such as Merchandising and Marketing, Senior Analyst positions, manager & director roles and even vice president positions. All students are encouraged to pursue any of these careers after completing the CA program at Sobeys Inc.

 

During your CA training at Sobeys, you will have the opportunity to work in other areas of finance typically unavailable through accounting firm programs. Internal Audit will give you insight into the planning, execution and reporting of various audits that relate to potential organization risks, or working as part of an Internal Reporting & Analysis team you will be responsible for identifying, preparing and analyzing reports to be presented to various levels of management. Working with the Budgeting & Planning group of the organization you will assist in organizing, compiling and preparing the budgets and related analysis for the organization. Practical work experience is a key element in becoming a CA.

 

The CA program is an intense program and that is why Sobeys assigns each of their students a mentor. These mentors are recent CA graduates themselves and are there for support during the ASCA modules and the UFE (Uniform Evaluation) exam. There are also Counseling Members that will ensure that all students are meeting the requirements for the CA program.
