24.01.2012: Vocational Competence Furniture
Inspired by Valeria Kononenko from the magazine „Furniture business“ in Moscow a group of Russian furniture retailers visited the exhibition IMM Cologne and used the contacts of the European Retail Academy for store-checks and management discussions in Cologne and surroundings (guided by Gerd Dellbruegge and Julia Pasternak/ EHI Retail Institute).
Of high interest was their visit of a special vocational school for the profession of trading with furniture Moefa. Students are educated in a dual system: partly they work already as trainees in wholesale/retail – partly they go to this school learning about the different materials of furniture, interior design.
