A new S$1 million Retail Training and Employment Centre has been launched in conjunction with the upcoming mall at Orchard Road, 313@Somerset.
313@Somerset is being developed by Land Lease Retail Singapore.
The project is the first major fully integrated retail development in Asia undertaken by the company.
Lend Lease said the new centre is aimed at providing free retail training to the employees of retailers at the mall.
The centre is expected to be fully operational by the middle of 2009 and will train about 1,000 employees and potential employees during its first year.
