Retail Education Program
As an industry, we have an opportunity and responsibility to focus on diversity and inclusion with retail to ensure business decisions are representative of the customers we serve. Through a partnership with the NRF Foundation and retailers, we’ve established a dedicated program to educate diverse students about career opportunities within the retail industry.
The Retail Education Program provides an opportunity to engage and learn about the industry from leading retailers. It is a voluntary program, hosted virtually via live webinars. While we encourage weekly participation to main the interactivity of sessions, we realize participations may not have the ability to commit to the entire program – therefore, we’ll provide access to recorded content.
PROGRAM DETAILS
The Retail Education Program includes four weeks of content, beginning on Monday, August 3rd. Each week features two webinars hosted by participating retailers, highlighting the following areas: Design, Buying & Planning Marketing Technology Supply Chain & Logistics Personal and Professional Development Sessions
In addition, participants will have the opportunity to sign-up for a mock interview with a retailer upon completion of the program.
CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION
Students who participate in the Retail Education Program student will receive a certification of completion from the participating retail companies.
DEADLINE
