From helping customers find the right outfit to ensuring smooth sales transactions, the learnership equips learners with all the skills needed to thrive in a retail environment. In addition, learners will gain experience in merchandising, customer service, and stock management, making this an all-encompassing introduction to the world of fashion retail.
