Confartigianato Fashion has shared worrying data, which seem to confirm a major crisis for the artisanal high fashion sector in Italy: according to what was confirmed on the occasion of Unique Milan, in fact, the textile industry needs more than 9 thousand technical workers per year, a need that our country cannot satisfy and which, on the contrary, results shortage of as many as 7 thousand units.
Missing are key players in the industry workflow, such as skilled workers and figures with specific technical skills, chemists and mechatronics, and during the press conference the Education Committee of Confindustria Moda highlighted the two ways to follow to fill this significant gap, namely those of training and digital update.
The committee has already laid the foundations for this evolution, carrying out projects specifically designed to revive the industry. Among them, for example, we find Train for Digital of the Fund for the Digital Republic, Fashion Talent Days e Fashion nights.
"That the whole sector acts as a system it is the first and fundamental premise for being able to solve this problem”, he declared Paul Bastianello, president of the Education Committee of Confindustria Moda. “It is also of fundamental importance to continue building relationships with the institutions and all the third parties able to support us. But finally, it is fundamental the collaboration of companies: if in Italy there is a lack of laboratories to train technicians, companies must open theirs and make them available to students".
