On March 18, 2015, The Business School Placement Centre hosted a Lunch & Learn for TJX Canada’s Retail Management Graduate Program (Winners, HomeSense, Marshalls).

The Retail Management Graduate Program offers graduates the opportunity to take on a management role at a retail location. Typically a retail manager is required to have 3-5 years of full-time work experience before they will be considered for a management role within TJX Canada. With their Retail Management Graduate Program, however, graduates are immediately considered for the role of either Assistant Manager of Customer Service & Operations or Assistant Manager of Merchandise.

At the event, we were joined by Natalie Sturino, Central Region Talent Acquisition Coordinator for TJX Canada, who is the recruiter for the graduate program. Also in attendance was Kristina Merciello, a graduate from Humber’s Fashion Management degree program. As the first Humber student accepted into the Retail Management Graduate Program, Kristina was able to share her success story with students and provide insight into her journey.
