The first course being launched is titled Certified Retail Professional. It covers the fundamental aspects of the organised Retail business and will be invaluable to those targeting a career in Retail.
Developed by industry experts under the auspices of rai, these courses are aimed at both students and professionals.
Mr Gibson G Vedamani, further adds, "The added feature of the course 'Certified Retail Professional' is that it comes with a job guarantee subject to successful completion of the course. Once a candidate has successfully completed this course, he/she will be offered internship with rai member companies. On successfully completing the internship, students shall be placed with leading retail organizations across India. We plan to launch many more such courses in the near future."
States Mr Shailesh Mehta, CEO, GOLS: "As These courses are designed in an engaging, online format, they enable a high level of interactivity not possible through conventional learning. Apart from the usual advantages of eLearning like 'Anytime, Anywhere' learning, students further benefit by never having to miss a class as well as from friendly, media rich, interactive learning. It is truly 'students-centric' learning as against traditional 'teacher or administrator centric learning'."
Through www.instituteofretailmanagement.com, rai and GOLS seek to equip candidates with key skills necessary to gain a foothold in this industry. These programs will not just empower individuals and enhance their employability; it will also give the Retail industry access to a bigger talent pool.
