The fashion world has changed. Today’s consumer is aware, critical, and increasingly demanding regarding the origins of products of the manufacturing industry, in particular in the area of clothing and footwear goods. Their main concerns are the origin and quality of leather or textile, human rights, and safe working conditions are just some of the questions raised by consumers. It is undeniable that there is increasing critical curiosity, essential to generate a purchase decision more aligned with individual concerns about the use of natural resources and the well-being of the people working in the fashion industry.

Traceability & Transparency in the TCLF industries

2021-11-18T16:39:29+01:00November 18th, 2021|Categories: Articles|Tags: , , , , |

What do these terms mean? Traceability is the capacity to track and trace a product to its origin, and Transparency is the level of public disclosure of the suppliers in a given value chain. They have become key concepts among apparel and footwear suppliers where value chains are highly complex, and the skills required in this are very specific.    Why do we need this? Today’s consumers have become increasingly demanding. Now more and more of them want to have the peace of mind that the pair of shoes or the jacket or the nice little skirt bought in the high street shop has been [...]

(Re)discover the textile industry: Attracting students through virtual fairs and games

2021-12-03T16:54:45+01:00October 4th, 2021|Categories: Articles|Tags: , , , |

One of the objectives of the Skills4Smart TCLF industries 2030 project is to enhance the attractiveness of the sector to engage newcomers. The TCLF industries are in desperate need for skilled workers and the textile sector is no exception.

The sector can count on dedicated employees, but the downside is that the average age in the sector is high and there is and will be an unprecedented outflow of human capital in the coming years. On the other hand, there is little influx of [...]

Youngsters from Italy discovering the TCLF career opportunities

2021-05-07T09:19:55+02:00February 22nd, 2021|Categories: Articles|Tags: , , |

 The sooner young people are able to design their own professional project, the easier it will be for them to choose and succeed, first at school and then professionally.  It is difficult for youngsters to understand what they are best at, what skills they have and what career paths will enable them to express their talents and fulfil their expectations and dreams. With an advantage for the economic and social system: less risk of dropping out and better performance in the workplace. Orientation is therefore a fundamental strategic lever, not only for young people but for the entire economic and social system.  Helping youngsters choose the most suitable study and career path for their ambitions [...]
