You come to us
We have a state-of-the-art education classroom in our Birmingham and Fort Worth offices and would love to host your team for a two-day Retail Academy training.
We come to you
We schedule a trip to your community, and teach between 4 to 5 of your staff. This method works well if your team isn't able to get out of the office for training.
Online Course
Through a partnership with the National League of Cities, receive an economic development certificate after participating in an eight-week course.
