Brief description

This facility recreates a “lifestyle” retail shop environment, modeled after actual commercial outlets. The retail area serves as a specialty shop that carries merchandise ranging from streetwear to accessories, while the “lifestyle” manicure corner has a display counter, equipped with basic hand care products. The room is furnished with standard equipment found in commercial outlets, such as cashiering machines, mannequins and display racks. Participants are taught practical skills in identifying, designing, packaging and marketing products to customers. Participants will experience the challenges involved in a Retail-cum-Manicure operation. Apart from imparting hands-on experience in retail display, basic hand-care skills, promotions and customer service, the programme also aims to inculcate a spirit of entrepreneurship in them.

Learning objectives

Participants will be divided into two teams. One team will set up a “lifestyle” retail store and the other will set up a manicure corner. The former will handle merchandise display at the retail store while the latter will learn hand care and hand massage techniques at the manicure corner. Participants will also get to exhibit their creativity in coming up with marketing materials for the business. Teams will also conduct role plays to allow them to practise customer service skills. The programme involves practical skills where participants can apply their knowledge in running a real business.
