The retail industry is going through a period of unprecedented and rapid change driven by changes in technology, new channels to market and increased customer expectations. In order to help organisations succeed, management and leaders in the retail industry need to be skilled to meet these unique challenges. As the UK’s largest private sector employer, the retail industry is committed to equipping its colleagues with skills for the future. However, many retailers have struggled to find high quality courses relevant to the retail industry to maximise their return on the Apprenticeship Levy. That’s why the British Retail Consortium (BRC) are delighted to have partnered with Leeds Business School, part of Leeds Beckett University, and Corndel to bring the industry apprenticeships that will equip students with the blend of industry knowledge, and practical, relevant experience they will need to capitalise on the opportunities created by a dynamic retail industry.
