Introduction to Outdoor Retail
The purpose of the ‘Introduction to Outdoor Retail’ project is to provide an entry level of training for outdoor retail staff for those working in their first retail role, or those who wish to progress in their retail career. There is no such transferrable and nationally recognised training at the moment, so this is an initiative to address this gap
Outdoor and Social organised a three-day outdoor learning event, at Newfold Farm, Edale, in the Peak District from March 12th-14th. It was an outdoor trade event providing workshops and practical sessions designed to increase knowledge and confidence in outdoor products and skills through experience.
