About Skills4Retail

How we’re changing the retail industry

Skills4Retail is revolutionising the retail landscape through pioneering education and training. Our programmes deliver cutting-edge skills that pave the way for a new digital-first generation.

Europe’s retail sector is a vital part of the economy, accounting for 9% of all EU jobs. However, the industry is at a crossroads, and faces a daunting skills gap that’s widened since the pandemic.

Skills4Retail responds to this urgent need by offering targeted training in sustainability and digital technologies, funded by the European Commission’s Erasmus+ and Partnerships For Innovation.

We are committed to upskilling the workforce to navigate the new, tech-forward retail landscape, so businesses and people are equipped for resilience and growth in the post-Covid era.
