CMJ launches ‘Mentorship Monday’ training for retail members

UK buying group the Company of Master Jewellers (CMJ) has added value for its retail members at its trade meetings by offering training and expertise on the Monday.

Aptly named ‘Mentorship Monday’ the new initiative will consist of a series of expert-led sessions, practical workshops, and peer-to-peer learning.

The schedule is open to all retailer attendees and will be running concurrently with the usual itinerary at the CMJ’s trade events. Businesses that send their staff to Mentorship Monday will receive a £100 credit per attendee to assist with any incurred travel costs.

“We created Mentorship Monday to help retailers invest in their greatest asset — their people,” said Patrick Turner, managing director of the CMJ. “We hope that CMJ retailers will see this as a great opportunity to bring staff along and give them valuable training that costs them absolutely nothing.”
