INTENSIVE COURSES
Attentive to the needs of the labor market and committed to elevating the role of the manufacturing sector within the Italian production landscape, Gruppo Florence is promoting an innovative educational path to train new professionals in the field of tailoring.
With this project, Gruppo Florence aims to further enhance the excellence of Italian savoir-faire, creating opportunities for a new generation of professionals: intensive courses, lasting three to six months, are created to provide training for those who are unemployed or seeking their first job. The goal is to provide participants with the skills needed to pursue a career in the fashion world, preparing specialized professionals in roles such as dressmaker, prototypist and patternmaker.
GROWING TALENTS
The project aims to help students understand the significance of the fashion and luxury industries, offering them a dual apprenticeship pathway that allows them to graduate and easily enter into laboratories’ career pathways.
Throughout the three-year program, students study both traditional subjects and technical courses relevant to their career pathway while receiving on-the-job training and working in laboratories, earning a salary for the hours they actually work. The project also aims to secure employment positions for students upon graduation, nurturing them as the next generation of skilled professionals within the industry.

Gruppo Florence has established internal upskilling projects in its various laboratories to improve the skills and knowledge of its employees. The programs cover leadership development, technical and communication skills, and digital transformation, delivered through online training, classroom sessions, workshops, seminars, and conferences. These programs are tailored to meet the unique needs of each laboratory and department, aimed at improving the competencies of employees individually and as a team.
