To enter the industry. Specialists and skills in the fashion world

The market is at a stage of rapid growth where lack of targeted personnel is synonymous with financial losses.

Accordingly, there is a need not only to search for talent but also to constantly train and retrain specialists. It is important to understand which competencies will become key in the near future, and how brands can adjust their HR strategies to the upcoming changes.
