The Retail Ready Jobs Program: A different approach to hiring

The Retail Ready Jobs Program is a government-funded initiative under Smart and Skilled funding. This Program focuses on building the skills and capabilities of applicants to ensure they are equipped to meet the needs of retailers.

The Program provides an entry-level employment pathway for people into the retail industry. The combination of knowledge-based, four-week, and one-day training, and an additional two weeks of practical work placement, provides the opportunity for applicants to learn new skills on the job that are required to get employed. Applicants are also offered work placement opportunities through our broad network of national retailers.

The Australian Retailers Association as the lead industry body and retail training provider with 7500+ industry members, place the students within large and medium-sized retail businesses across the country to provide the opportunity for retailers to trial students for the positions at no cost!

Our trainers are experts in retail who provide training across both metropolitan and rural areas, giving everyone the chance to have a thriving career in retail. Learn more about how the training sessions are run, and some of the successful job outcomes from one of our trainers:

“Hurstville, NSW was one of the first remote learning groups to commence in lock down due to COVID- 19. The training was facilitated via Zoom with daily sessions at 10 am and 2 pm. The students were engaged and quickly adapted to the training and assessment style. We would meet face-to-face every Monday to collect assessments and complete role-plays. This was a great way for the students to build rapport with each other.

Five students successfully completed their assessments and commenced work experience. Out of the five students, one student, Josie, was offered a casual position at Baby Bunting. Other students, Rokoya and Catherine, were offered casual positions at Spotlight, while student, Yiqun, was offered a casual position at Coles. All students are enthusiastic about entering the work environment.” – ARA Retail Trainer.

Eagle Labs launches impirica CBD brand

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Eagle Labs has launched impirica, a new brand of CBD intended to eliminate consumer fear, and increase confidence, in trying the exciting new cannabidiol category. Michael Law Although most Americans have now heard about CBD, many are very confused and concerned about product quality. This is inhibiting trial in the category and holding back conversion into sales. In fact, a 2017 study by Johns Hopkins University found that two out of three CBD products on the shelf did not contain the amount of CBD reflected on the label. Furthermore, in 2018 and 2019, the FDA sent notices to a substantial number of CBD manufacturers advising them of serious concerns about product quality or egregious medical claims. The impirica brand looks different than most CBD brands — the brand name itself connotes testing and trust, says Eagle Labs chief commercial officer Michael Law. “It doesn’t use the traditional category colors of browns and greens, and you won’t find a hemp...
