Opportunities in management training

Each alternate year the Distributive Trades Education and Training Council arranges a conference for University Careers Advisory Officers. The purpose of the conference is to outline management career opportunities for university graduates in retail and wholesale distribution, and the format usually followed is for a type of distribution to be discussed both by an executive and a management trainee. This year's conference was held at Lewis's store in Birmingham; W.J. Philpott, the writer of this report, was himself one of the speakers.
