The Market Scan conducted on 7th March 2026 at Pondy Bazaar offered learners valuable real-time exposure to the retail sector, where they explored various outlets such as clothing stores, accessory shops, mobile stores, and small businesses to understand workplace practices, customer service, and sales operations. Through direct interaction with shop representatives, learners gained insights into job roles, required skills, working conditions, and employer expectations, while also observing the importance of communication, product knowledge, and presentation in a retail environment. This experiential learning activity not only enhanced their understanding of the job market but also boosted their confidence in communication and professional interaction, preparing them for future employment opportunities.
