Graduates can choose from a wide variety of entry level positions, for example, as a trainee manager or a position in buying, stock control, merchandising, sales, administration, logistics, housekeeping or the finance section of a retail business. Retail managers are generally required to work in teams and the program therefore focuses on the development of professional communication skills which prepares students to work both independently and as part of a team.
