The Travel Club recognized for employee training efforts

MANILA, Philippines - The Travel Club (TTC), in partnership with the Academy for Professional Excellence (APEX), was recently awarded by the Federation of Asia-Pacific Retailers Association (FAPRA) for its exemplary and pioneering contribution in sustaining excellent retail practices through manpower training and continued education.

The event was held in conjunction with the Asia-Pacific Retailers Conference and Expo (APRCE) last Sept. 23-26 in Istanbul, Turkey.

The Travel Club’s pioneering effort to establish a training program for its sales force provide select employees with the opportunity to undergo and finish a specialized and intensive training module that aims to upgrade their sales, customer service skills and product knowledge, thus giving them better opportunities to grow professionally.

APEX aims to raise the bar toward retail excellence by providing education and job-specific training programs in retail, tourism and other service industries.

The academy carefully designed and crafted various modules to be accomplished by student-employees during the course of their short program and training.

With this latest recognition, The Travel Club’s Best Employee Training Program award from FAPRA (formally, Best Effort in Retail Employee Training) becomes a solid testament of its excellent and globally recognized training and skills enrichment program for world-class retail professionals.

The Primer Group of Companies, the region’s next retail giant and multi-awarded brand-builder, is behind The Travel Club and APEX.
