This section highlights the Professional Certificate in Retail Strategy: Competitive Edge program, featuring a 3D pie chart that visually represents retail strategy job market trends in the UK. The chart showcases the percentage distribution of roles such as Retail Manager, Buyer, Merchandiser, Retail Analyst, and Visual Merchandiser. The responsive chart is designed to adapt to all screen sizes with a width of 100% and a height of 400px, ensuring an optimal viewing experience. The transparent background and lack of added background color allow the chart to blend seamlessly into any webpage layout. To create the 3D pie chart, we used the Google Charts library and its arrayToDataTable method to define the chart data. The is3D option was set to true to create the desired 3D effect. By including the necessary script tags to load the Google Charts library, the chart is rendered with precision and visual appeal.
