Is Retail a University?
In partnership with Red Communications, Workstar has undertaken a fascinating three month study into the retail industry and retail careers. The study interviews 10 retailers such as Gerry Harvey (Harvey Norman), Carla Zampatti (Carla Zampatti) and Bernie Brooks (Myer), about their views on retail as a career option, why they chose a career in retail and the key lessons learnt. They are also asked what makes a great retailer and why they believe retail is the best commercial ‘university’ there is.
