HCM CITY (Biz Hub) — Big C supermarket chain has announced a programme to provide training in retail management in 2016-17.

From candidates applying nation-wide, the programme will select 45 trainees by August to take part in the year-long training from October.

The professional training will combine academic and on-the-job coaching programmes by the supermarket's senior executives and experienced lecturers from leading management training centres.

Besides a full scholarship, trainees will also be provided a monthly allowance and subsidies for lunch and transport, accommodation for those hailing from outside the city, voluntary health and accident insurance, and others.

This is the fifth year of the programme.

According to Big C, the country's retail industry has developed strongly in recent years, leading to high demand for human resources, especially in management positions, but there are no schools providing training in this field. — VNS
