In tune with strong political ambitions to develop work-linked training, 18 retail branches wanted to take stock of the situation in their companies.
While work-linked training is almost a tradition in some branches, it is facing challenges in others. The aim of this mission was to assess work-linked training trends in the retail sector, identify priority issues, and pinpoint areas for improvement. This analysis was conducted not only at the sector level but also at a more granular level for key positions within each branch.
