Recognizing the growing need for trained staff accompanying the huge expansion in retail industry, TAF Foundation's Vocational Training Institute (VTI) is launching its pilot for the 'Customer Service & Retail Sales' course from November 2017. Supported by growing urbanization, retail industry in Pakistan is growing at unprecedented rates. The country's retail market size is currently estimated to be around $152 billion with an annual growth rate of 8 percent as per media reports. This sector is also the country's second largest employer, employing more than 16 percent of the country's total labour force.
According to the programme, TAFF-VTI has recruited women from across Karachi for the pilot batch mostly from marginalized localities of the city aged 18-28 years with at least intermediate level of education will be trained, preparing them to effectively work in fast-paced sales environments.-PR
