Participants will learn about store operations, consumers and the retail industry, understanding products and services, assessing and meeting customer needs, merchandising and inventory and loss prevention. In addition, they’ll also learn resume tips and interviewing skills from some of the top Human Resources professionals in the retail industry.

The one-day course will take place at MUST's Canton location at 111 Brown Industrial Road, Canton, GA 30114.
