Learning the tools of the trade!

Our Retail Associate students are getting hands-on practice using a cash register and point-of-sale system—an important skill for today’s retail workplace.

Pictured at the register is trainer Barbara Leduc, also known as "Mrs. B" (previous owner of Mrs. B's Gifts and Home Decor).

But there’s much more to being a successful retail associate! Students are also building skills in customer service, communication, teamwork, retail math, technology, store procedures, merchandising, and health & safety.

These practical skills help learners feel more confident and prepared for real-world retail jobs.

Learn. Practice. Build skills. Get ready for work!

Employers are hiring!
