Retail as a Career Choice:

Working in retail is far more than standing behind a till talking to customers.

It offers a variety of opportunities for those with different skills; from salespersons to buyers, marketing to store management, merchandising, window dressing and non-customer facing opportunities. It is a changing landscape where you can find career potential, versatility, teamwork and job fulfilment. And it is also flexible, sociable and fun!

“The Retail Apprentice Scheme has so far exceeded our expectations in developing our employee.  As an employer, I have had the privilege of witnessing the transformative impact this scheme has had.  The Scheme has not only imparted essential skills and knowledge required for success in in our business but has also fostered a culture of continuous growth and learning.

​

What sets this scheme apart is the approach to training. Apprentices are not just confined to learning the technical aspects of retail; they are also encouraged to develop themselves including critical interpersonal and communication skills, making them well-rounded assets to any team. This approach equips them with the tools they need to excel not only in their current roles but also as future leaders in the industry.

​

In addition to the program's structured curriculum, the support and mentorship provided to the apprentice has been second to none.  I have no hesitation recommending this scheme to other retail businesses.”
