Making it in Textiles Conference

About

The Making It in Textiles Conference is an Annual two-day event in Bradford, which gives final year textile students the opportunity to learn about the textile industry first-hand by talking to manufacturers and experiencing industrial production.

The secondary aim of the conference is to help address the skills and talent gap in the textiles industry. The UK industry is enjoying a resurgence and this is creating jobs. However, there are only a finite number of pure design roles available. Textile companies need young people with a range of skills who are interested in building on their design expertise to work in areas such as supply chain management, yarn sourcing, quality control and production management.
