Description

The challenge of finding and retaining high potential associates is not likely to ease anytime soon.  Forward-looking retailers are incorporating access to affordable higher education into their programs for developing future leaders while minimizing their financial impact.  We will explore the importance of an educated workforce in an industry that is becoming increasingly complex and discuss how education programs can be used as an effective tool for recruitment and retention.
