Why Retailing?
Retail is an ever-evolving, competitive and rewarding industry. Store fronts and sales often come to mind when picturing retail, however 44% of retail employees do not work in sales. From design, engineering, technology, data management, supply chain, finance and marketing, the possibilities and career paths are endless.
