Personnel Shortage. Creating a Qualified Base for the Fashion Industry

The fashion industry is not only about the images on the catwalks, but also about the people who stand behind them: designers, seamstresses, designers, cutters, technologists. With the expansion of production capacities, the development of new technologies, and changes in consumer preferences, it became obvious that there was a catastrophic shortage of highly qualified professionals. The traditional training system can no longer keep up with the rapid transformation of the market, posing a threat to the development of the entire industry. How can we create a specialist training system that meets current requirements and is ready for the challenges of the future?

  • Why do 60% of graduates of specialized universities not meet the requirements of employers?
  • What specialties will be in demand in the next 5 years?
  • Corporate universities vs traditional education: which is more effective?
  • Can online platforms and micro-training close the staffing gap?
