Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study examined training in the retail trade in Portugal. Employment, work, and training patterns in Portugal's retail sector were researched, and case studies of two firms in the supermarket/hypermarket group, one firm in the stationary/cigarette shop sector, and one clothing manufacturer/retailer were conducted. Teams of researchers interviewed various managers (general, store, personnel, training department) and employees (primarily sales assistants and cashiers). The studies confirmed that retailer interest in vocational training is fairly recent and that training programs in the retail sector are still in their infancy. Three stores had training departments that were solely or partly responsible for training program development/implementation. No company included employees in the training design/organization process. Most training was directed at sales/supermarket assistants and store managers/supervisors. Training courses were generally structured in modules to permit progressive, continuing training. With one exception, the training programs were the result of state and community incentives in the form of substantial financial assistance. Training was also indirectly financed through social welfare contributions paid by employers and employees. (Eighty-four tables/figures and 21 references are included. Appended are lists of the persons/organizations contacted during the case studies.) (MN)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rise to prominence of the service sector - heralded over half a century ago as the great hope for the twenty-first century - has come to fruition. In many cases, employment in the service sector now outnumbers that in manufacturing sectors, and it is accepted that in all developed countries, the service sector is the only one in which employment will grow in future. The reasons for this is the subject of much controversy and debate, the outcomes of which are not merely of academic interest but of decisive importance for economic policy and the quality of working and living conditions in future. In order to examine these various arguments, research teams from eight European countries worked together for three years on a comparative study of the evolution of service sector employment in EU member states. They also investigated working and employment conditions in five very different service industries (banking, retailing, hospitals, IT services and care of the elderly) in a number of countries, and the results of their research are presented in this informative new collection, of interest to students academics and researchers involved in all aspects of industrial economics.

Download or read book Training in the Retail Sector written by Wilfried Kruse and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Training in the retail sector throughout the 12 European Community (EC) member countries was examined through in-depth case studies of 55 retail firms that were selected as representing a wide range of firm types (19 multinational, 36 national, 4 cooperative, 7 family-owned firms), forms of retailing (department stores, supermarkets, and chain and independent specialized stores), firm sizes (ranging from firms employing fewer than 100 to more than 10,000 people), and subsectors (food, nonfood, both). It was discovered that priority is still being given to training newly recruited employees, especially potential managers. A new emphasis on training as part of a global commercial strategy and concomitant new emphasis on training the whole staff were evident. Most curricula were found to be based on a modular principle. An increase in the number of training activities in retail firms and a shift toward more strategic use of training as part of firms' human resource policies were discovered. Few data on training costs and efficiency were available, and the need for more systematic collection of factual data on training in the retail sector was evident. (Appended are seven tables of statistical data and the names/addresses of the study advisory committee members.) (MN)

This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past fifteen years Portugal has promoted several changes in the access of immigrants to family reunification that were interlinked with a significant progress in terms of integration policies. This report analyses the practice of the law, highlighting the hurdles and challenges that immigrants might face during the family reunification process in Portugal. The contact with immigrants, NGOs representatives, policymakers, lawyers and mediators helped to understand this reality.
