PREPARING THE NEXT GENERATION FOR SUCCESS
Calzedonia Group, always looking to the future, has decided to focus on the younger generations and their education. How? By sponsoring the ITS COSMO Fashion Academy’s Fashion Product Manager course (www.itscosmo.it), which will be held at the “M. Sanmicheli” High School in Verona.
The Fashion Product Manager course is a two-year restricted enrolment program for up to 25 high school graduates, who will be selected based on their resumes, a written exam and a motivational interview.
This two-year program comprises a total of 2,000 learning hours, including 1,200 hours of theory and practical lessons, lab time, workplace visits and project development, as well as 800 hours of internship.
The course aims to train the next generation of R&D specialists in the fashion industry, also thanks to the use of advanced 2D and 3D technology. Students will learn many different skills on a number of topics, lkranging from fashion trend and collection analysis and marketing to creative design up to product development.
Specifically, the Calzedonia Group will give the 10 best students (who will be chosen based on their performance, i.e. class attendance and average exam score) the opportunity to complete their internship with one of its brands (e.g. Tezenis, Intimissimi and Calzedonia).
Students who complete the two-year program and pass the final examination will obtain a technical diploma/EQF level 5 qualification (European Qualification Framework).
The course will kick off in October 2019 and will end in July 2021.
The Calzedonia Group continues to invest in education and training to shape the present and future generations of qualified professionals.
ITS COSMO Fashion Academy is a nonprofit organization that aims to promote post-secondary technical education and refresher courses in the apparel, textile, classic and sport footwear, leather goods, eyewear, jewelry-making, communications, digital marketing and tanning industries.
