Tata boosts retail training in India

by Personnel Today 6 Dec 2007
by Personnel Today 6 Dec 2007

Training in the booming Indian retail sector was given a boost this week as Tata Interactive Systems (TIS) signed an agreement with British organisation, Skillsmart Retail, to offer a retail training scheme.

The three-year collaboration will see the creation of an India-based Retail Academy run by Tata Interactive Systems (TIS), part of the £23bn Tata Group, using content approved by Skillsmart Retail, the UK Sector Skills Council for Retail.

The scheme, which will be available both online and face-to-face will give learners a clear understanding of all aspects of retail as well as the opportunity to develop skills in the sector.

TIS provides e-learning to encourage training, development and improvements in performance for organisations and businesses in a range of sectors and has its global headquarters based in Mumbai, India.

J.C. Mistry, head of retail training at TIS, said: “TIS’s Retail Academy in India provides an opportunity to those who work, or want to work, in the retail industry in India to harness and develop their potential. Through the Academy, we help such individuals to explore and hone their skills to ensure that they deliver their best for their employers and customers.”

Courses will be offered in different formats such as e-learning programmes and instructor-led courses with the inclusion of assignments and assessments.
