Are You Retail Ready? Transform the High Street with Us!

Welcome to an exciting opportunity to rejuvenate the high street through our latest initiative, Retail Ready People. This program is specifically designed for young individuals aged 16-25 who are eager to explore or advance their careers in retail.

Embrace Innovation and Creativity

Applications are now open for young people who wish to transform empty retail spaces. This is your chance to use your creativity and skills to breathe new life into these spaces.

The Program

This week, we are launching the Retail Ready People program in Brighton and Enfield. We aim to recruit 60 young people who will use their skills, creativity, and imagination to revitalize an empty shop. This initiative is not just about retail; it’s about harnessing the power of Entrepreneurship and Innovation to make a tangible impact.

Why Join?

• Gain Real-World Experience: Collaborate with experts in retail, business, and pop-up shops to transform disused spaces into vibrant pop-up projects.
• Develop Skills: Enhance your retail and enterprise skills, paving the way for future employment opportunities.
• Make a Difference: Play a role in transforming your local high street while gaining invaluable real-life experience.

Dan Thompson, founder of the Empty Shops Network and #riotcleanup, describes a pop-up as “A shop that opens for a short time, creates a buzz, does something different, and then disappears.”

Who We Are Looking For

If you are aged 16-25, living, working, or studying in Brighton or Enfield, and:

• Are already working part-time in retail but want to progress or get promoted
• Are not in education, employment, or training and are interested in learning more about retail careers
