Workshop Information
The final of a series of employment programme workshops run in collaboration with Fortnum & Mason.
This session will explore what it is like working within the Human Resources and Visual Merchandising departments.
Human Resources is the department that looks after an organisation’s employees. They make sure all employees are hired, developed and looked after.
Visual Merchandising is all about ensuring that you have beautiful displays and windows to bring customers in through the door. They design the props and windows, changing them every season to align with campaigns.
Each Fortnums x TCDT Employment Programme workshop will consist of having two different departments speaking to students about their role and growth in the business, what they love doing and some of the challenges. They will also offer career advice should the students wish to grow their career in the said departments. There will be Q&A sessions with each speaker so students can ask specific questions. The session will be followed by lunch.
