Retail Management Careers

According to the article "Wanted: Retail Managers by Jayne O'Donnell" of USA TODAY, the number of traditional college graduates interested in retail management careers have declined. The decline comes in part due to poor experiences as a part-time associate in high school and college. That means the retail management industry is a platinum mine for those with training, skill and experience. The employment in retail management is expected to grow by 8% through 2018.* That's nearly 375,000 jobs!

Did you know?

Not only will employment opportunities stem from current workers leaving the retail management industry, but new jobs will be created when companies expand and enhance their customer's experience. Retail Managers will find employment in department and specialty stores, clothing and clothing accessories stores and warehouse clubs and supercenters.

Employers value experienced retail managers who can work long hours, understand inventory and monitor loss while providing impeccable customer service. So, whether your talents lie in overseeing company advertising or forecasting sales year-to-date, training from PCDI will prepare you for your choice of rewarding retail management careers.
