Researching trade occupations from a labour market point of view
The first phase of the TIPTOE-project is dedicated to the labour market perspective. It’s goal is to get a clear insight and understanding of correspondences and differences between occupational requirements in Europe from the labour market’s point of view. Eight partners investigated the occupational situation in the trade sector of their own country and conducted interviews with stakeholders such as workers in the field or representatives from companies or sector organizations (e.g. HR manager, labour consultant).
On the basis of these interviews each partner constructed occupational profiles for four central occupations within the trade sector.
For retail:
Shop Assistant (SA) , Shop Manager (SM);
For wholesale:
Logistics Assistant (LA) , Logistics Manager (LM).
