Speak up for your industry: become a Retail Ambassador
Retail Ambassadors speak up for retail, championing the sector in schools and colleges by offering their first-hand, real-life experience of working within the industry. In so doing, they perform a vital role influencing and inspiring the next generation of retail talent.

Business Benefits
The benefits of the Retail Ambassador Programme for business are wide-ranging, and taking part will help fulfil some aspects of corporate social responsibility. However, the benefits are felt by the Ambassadors themselves; the satisfaction of inspiring others.
