Retail industry
Retail offers you a wide range of career choices across diverse market sectors.
It’s a vibrant, competitive, people-focused field in which to make a livelihood. Retail is the largest Australian employing industry, and this includes regional areas. Nearly 11% of the total workforce, work in supermarkets and grocery stores; in pharmacies, clothing, footwear, accessories and department stores; in hardware, building and garden suppliers; and in the motor vehicles, recreational and household goods trade.
The industry is forecast to continue to grow. Pharmaceutical and other store-based retailers is the industry’s second largest sector (providing 13.6% of jobs in retailing). As well as the wider retailing sector, MEGT Institute’s industry-experienced trainers provide focused training for Community Pharmacy Assistants to boost their job prospects.
