The Space Planning/Shelf Management (formerly known as ProSpace) program teaches students with a background in retail how to use Blue Yonder’s (previously known as JDA) ProSpace software.

The program consists of two classes that meet for 13 weeks:

• Intro Shelf Management/Plan-ProSpace (8 wks.) - 24 hrs.
• Adv. Shelf Management/Plan-ProSpace (5 wks.) - 15 hrs.

Students in the introductory course will learn the functionality of the software, and gain hands-on experience building planograms, also known as modulars.

Students in the advanced course will learn how to use ProSpace analytics to improve sales and profitability, and to identify the right product mix and positioning for store fixtures. NWACC utilizes the latest version of Blue Yonder (ProSpace) software. Students will access this software through a virtual desktop.

Prerequisites: Students must have retail experience, supplier/3rd party experience or be a CRA graduate.
