Trends


The Industry Engagement Retail project has resulted in a focus on the Retail Industry at SSI. Much of the learning is also applicable to other areas. I am sure we apply this thinking anyway...but reflection just makes us more aware. Even as a teacher we were aware of trends and how they impact on younger learners. Trends impact on retailers in terms of customer buying habits....and on trainers in terms of client expectations.

I read this blog post on Nowism...and I am sure we all know about it.....but it is interesting to reflect and apply it to our training.....or decide not too....
