MORE than 30 staff at the Liverpool One branch of Debenhams have achieved their Retail Skills Level 2 certificate.
Their training was part of a pioneering deal with Academy One, a partnership between retail centre Liverpool One, the National Skills Academy for Retail, and Birkenhead training provider Scientiam.
Thirty-three Debenhams staff took part in 14 weeks of training to improve their retail and customer service skills, and 25 have now signed up to study for Level 2 and 3 Apprenticeships.
Debenhams store trainer Maureen Scollins said: “We wanted to open the training up to all, and were very pleased that so many staff wanted to learn and gain qualifications.”
Scientiam managing director Jayne Worthington said: “The partnership with Debenhams has been a big success, and we are very pleased to see their commitment to investing time and support in their workforce.”
