Retail Ready Online
The online Retail Gateway that delivers valued people skills for work and life
When retail work placements aren’t possible, Retail Ready Online is the solution.
If your students can’t get to or access a workplace, or simply aren’t work-ready, this option helps them gain valued people skills that will help them get ahead in work and be there for life.
Retail suits many people with its wide range of exciting career and on-job learning opportunities. Helping customers, creating product displays, marketing, running a store, or management at head office are just a few – and that’s before you even consider the growing online and distribution options the industry offers.
Retail Ready Online is a Gateway programme that gives students a chance to get valuable skills and knowledge in retail and can help make the move from school into a career.
How it works
Students will gain NCEA credits that can also be used towards a nationally recognised New Zealand Certificate in Retail. Even though it’s fully online, the student will be supported by the ServiceIQ’s online learning resources and store management to gain important knowledge in line with industry standards including: problem solving; product knowledge; cash handling and payment processing; legislation for sale of goods and services; dealing with theft and fraud; and workplace diversity.
The student will complete the verifications and assessments with support of the workplace. Students’ work will be assessed by a ServiceIQ registered assessor or via an alternative assessor that meets all NZQA requirements.
Successful completion of Retail Ready Online will see your student gain 22 credits at Level 2, plus the industry recognised Customer Service Award.
