JAC in a Box - Retail Placement

Jac in a Box is a real shop selling donated goods (we have to cover our costs). The young people will run the shop under the supervision of volunteers.

When they are work ready we have partnered with local businesses to offer them internships/work shadowing. Also many local businesses have agreed to offer interviews for suitable vacancies.

We welcome people to come in and look around as this gives our trainees the opportunity to interact with the public. You do not need to feel obliged to buy anything.

However one bonus is that anything you do buy you choose how much you pay for it!

We believe people know what is a fair price but also what they know what can afford.

The training scheme we offer will be certified by AQA/City & Guilds and focuses on learning and developing retail management skills.  The certificate in workplace readiness is particular to the Training Hub and includes such modules as timekeeping, customer service, how to work a till, stock rotation, personal hygiene and presentation, making a cup of tea, shop presentation, etc.

All our young people work towards a certificate in workplace readiness.  We also plan to offer 2 accredited AQA/City & Guilds supported internships in retail management where all support is provided by our Training Manager alongside practical on-the-job training.  We provide work experience placements for pupils in local schools and colleges.
