OREANDA-NEWS. November 21, 2012. DIXY Group - one of Russia’s leading retailers of foods and everyday products - announces the opening of Moscow’s largest Stuff Recruiting and Training Center called DIXY Academy.

The main purpose of the Center is to provide recruitment, basic training and professional education of employees in retail area. The Center has an area of 1,700 sq. m. designed to ensure daily capacity of more than 700 people. It has two functional areas, namely the HR-sector where personnel will be recruited and registered and the professional training sector.

Twelve conference rooms are allocated specifically for candidate interviewing and employee registration in the HR- sector with the electronic queue feature installed. The professional training sector includes four computer and three cash register classrooms designed for 30 people each, an 80-seat conference hall, a training classroom and a shop model with installed cash desks and other in-store equipment to make the education process as close to real future working conditions as possible. Computer classes are also equipped with interactive whiteboards; ceiling projectors with automatic pull-down screens are installed in all training classrooms.

The interior of the DIXY Academy is designed in a modern style reflecting the main features required for the project: it should be functional, ergonomic and most comfortable and prepossessing just like DIXY itself: “Simple. Nearby. Neighborly.”

Ilya Yakubson, President of DIXY Group, said:

“DIXY Academy is a strategic investment since the DIXY employees are not resources, but our capital which always needs to progress. The scale of the Center will enable us not only to meet today’s company demands for professional staff, but also to enlarge our network in the region at a high rate, just as the developing Russian retail sector requires ".
