They analyze the store\u2019s layout to find the best spots to place products that will make them look more appealing to customers. They must also have impressive organizational skills to create logical systems for sorting products that make items easy to locate quickly when needed. They also track the sales and revenue of each product piece to determine which are best-sellers and suggest potential special offers to help the store increase its profits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Career Prep* offers a rigorous curriculum where students learn to plan, coordinate, and implement marketing strategies.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-k12-section container-fluid bg-color-sky-light\n\t\ttext-black padding-4\"><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-12 px-mobile-0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-k12-content-block container\"><div class=\"row no-wrap\"><div class=\"col-6 align-self-center text-margin-right sort-mobile-2\"><h2 class=\" \">Gain real-world skills through project-based learning.<\/h2><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"520\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/www.k12.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/real-world-skills-merchandising.webp\" alt=\"image (name )\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1820 img-fluid rounded square hidden-lg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.k12.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/real-world-skills-merchandising.webp 520w, https:\/\/www.k12.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/real-world-skills-merchandising-300x185.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" \/><p class=\" \">Career Prep has implemented\u00a0<a href=\"\/career-and-college-prep\/career-prep\/offerings-curriculum-and-services\/project-based-learning\/\">project-based learning<\/a>\u00a0(PBL) for many courses in this pathway.
