As a main result, experienced entrepreneurs are expected to raise awareness about the need for digital and environmental transformation while increasing their capacity of innovation. The youth and unemployed are expected to increase their practical knowledge about this key industrial sector, being able to develop new ventures/ find new job opportunities in this field, benefitting in the long term to the entire sector competitiveness. TECOFASH project intends, with the previously exposed objective, to present a training programme oriented towards the following outcomes:
- Connect the companies from the sector with the younger generation, and attract new talented workforce towards this industry
- Link representatives from the sector with training experts,
- Be clear and open based, without conditions and free from constrains,
- Focused on the main skills gap identified, being the production processes, the digital and green skills.
- Make full use of the digital technologies and virtual collaboration to contribute to the up/reskilling of the sector.
This is achieved through the production of 3 main results:
R1. Sustainable and digital production processes
The first result is dedicated to the development of a training package addressed to both experienced entrepreneurs and youth targets with different level of complexity to address each one specific needs under a technical perspective, with a focus on products, sources of contamination and production.
R2. Sustainable and digital management of a fashion company
The second result is dedicated to the development of a training package addressed to both experienced entrepreneurs and youth targets with different level of complexity to address each one specific needs. It will focus on managerial and transversal aspects related to the business models and digital and lean management.
This result creates the expected dialogue between the two target groups and their collaboration toward sector innovation, with the final aim of attracting the younger generation in this sector. It is dedicated to the development of a training platform hosting the different training packages and the social modules for the implementation of the training and collaboration activities. Thanks to this, partners expect to achieve a significant impact at local, and further, national and European levels, supporting fashion SMEs to continue their effort to answer environmental and societal challenges and reach competitiveness and sustainability.
