Demand for Emerging Digital Skills

Realising that e-commerce is the priority of the retail industry, the projection of the manpower growth in the branch of “Retail Trade not via Stores and Mobile Stalls” would be the highest in the future. There would also be a quest for talents in e-commerce coupled with emerging training needs on “Big data Analysis”, “Digital Marketing” and “Knowledge in Emerging Technology/Information and Communication Technology/Disaster Recovery Planning” for companies to sustain competitiveness in the digitalised world.

What Really Matters…Is An Experiential Retailing Journey!

The retail industry was hard hit by COVID-19. Retailers who have begun digital transformation with robust e-commerce sites and retail technologies were able to make changes to pivot their operations to adapt to the COVID restrictions, meet new customer needs, and generate sales. Others who have not yet started digital transformation or no e-commerce platform lost revenue and customers. Therefore, retailers saw the need to develop new retail in their businesses, an integrated retail delivery model which converges digital and offline experiences using omni-channel strategies to enhance customer experience. In this online-merge offline (OMO) model, retailers tried to make shopping not just about the in-store experience, website, or mobile shopping, but about every experience the customer has with the brand at every touchpoint. The change of the retail direction has brought retailers to examine the shift of customer behaviour, the data which provides business insights, the customer journey they need to create, and the digitalisation of business operations to enhance efficiency and consistency.
