About the Retail Management Program 

Are you a retail employee looking to progress to a leadership position at your company? The Retail Management Certificate program, developed by retail industry experts and experienced CNM faculty, prepares you for positions in management and will give you the skills you need to advance in your career.

This specific academic program is an employer-direct program associated with the Western Association of Food Chains (WAFC). Your employer must be affiliated with the WAFC organization for consideration into the program (check with your HR department to verify). Should your employer not be affiliated with the WAFC just yet, we can offer you self-pay options so that you are still able to enroll.
