Over the past three months, People 1st International, together with employers and stakeholders from across the UK retail industry, has reviewed what is considered one of the most important resources for workforce development and certification in the sector – the National Occupational Standards (NOS).
It is crucial to regularly update these standards to ensure they stay relevant and continue to help build a knowledgeable and skilled workforce in the retail industry.
Given the large number of retail NOS, the proposed updates and changes have been summarised in a document to provide employers and stakeholders with a high-level overview, eliminating the need to review each individual NOS. However, the document includes links to each NOS, allowing those interested to explore the detailed tracked changes within each specific NOS document.
