Exchange management class open to veterans Published July 23, 2012 DALLAS -- The Army and Air Force Exchange Service, already recognized as a Top 100 Military Friendly Employer, is expanding its efforts to recruit and train veterans with its Detail to Retail hiring program. One aspect of Detail to Retail, the Retail Management Program, is a 16-week program designed to train various levels of retail management. Upon successful program completion, participants may be assigned to Exchange facilities in a variety of different roles including store manager, branch store manager and sales area managers. The program is ideal for any service member looking to transition to a new career, said AAFES officials. More than 4,300 veterans have already made the Exchange their next career decision. Applicants need only one year prior military experience to be considered and no retail experience is required. Resumes can be submitted year-round to www.applymyexchange.com; however, those applicants interested in attending the program in the fall must submit resumes by Aug. 9 at job posting number C1-RETAIL-2012. Training will be held in San Antonio at Fort Sam Houston from Oct. 15 through Feb. 1, 2013. Program participants must be willing to relocate upon successful completion. (Courtesy of AAFES News)
