Manchester Metropolitan University [wiki, website] has entered into partnership with a supermarket chain to offer a degree to its employees. Student Direct reports:

SUPERMARKET GIANT Tesco will soon offer its own university degree thanks to a new partnership with Manchester Metropolitan University.

This is not unique. Many other businesses have training programs that have come to rival a university degree in their comprehensiveness, transferability and market value. But supermarkets?
