The company had some 7,200 employees by the end of 2007, and plans to hire a further 3,000 this year. Real is one of the main players on the hypermarket segment, along with Carrefour, Auchan, Kaufland, Cora and PIC.
“We initiated this project because it is very difficult for us to find qualified personnel. We will open such training centers for other segments in the future,” said General Manager of Real Romania, Tjeerd Jegen.
The company is interested in obtaining authorization for the center, so that courses will be recognized nationwide.
