27 May Top 5 Retail Training Courses in Malaysia
Last year, Malaysia’s retail performance reached a record low since the Asian financial crisis 22 years ago.
Retail industries suffered harshly as the pandemic took its toll and retailers were left in the dust. Sectors that suffered the most include department stores (- 38.3%) and fashion (- 37.9%).
With most sectors now back in full swing, it’s up to retailers to brace themselves and be prepared to come back stronger than before. Now more than ever are retail training courses in high demand.
Retail training courses are few and far in between in Malaysia – let alone those worth their salt. At SH Retail Academy, we’ve compiled the top 5 retail training courses in Malaysia worth dipping into your HR funds for.
