Educational platform
A modern, interactive e-learning platform featuring dozens of courses, also available in Ukrainian. The courses cover all areas of a store's operations – from financials, personnel and fresh foods management to client service and merchandising. The platform provides access to specialised and expert-level knowledge pertaining to modern store management, which is available at any place and time in the form of articles, e-training conducted through videos and webinars, i.e. meetings with experts on-line.
In-person workshops
Workshops are conducted by coaches-practitioners with many years of experience in trade, both in training rooms or on-site in retail outlets throughout Poland. During the training, the participants – store owners and employees – perfect their practical skills thanks to the wide range of workshop subjects allowing them to improve both hard skills in managing the store and its departments, as well as to develop soft interpersonal skills.
Educational conferences
The aim of this pillar is to expand knowledge and bring inspiration to independent entrepreneurs in the form of the latest trade solutions. Kongres Przedsiębiorców Polskiego Handlu welcomes thousands of local shop owners and their employees as participants every September. It is an opportunity to exchange experiences, meet respected experts, get to know the latest trends in trade and gain knowledge helpful in everyday store management.
Postgraduate studies
Since 2017, Akademia Umiejętności Eurocash has been working with the Warsaw School of Economics to conduct the first postgraduate studies in Poland intended for grocery store owners: “Business management in retail”. These studies, unique on a national scale, provide education in entrepreneurship and managing a retail facility.
