About Our Work
The fashion and textiles sector now has new strategic representation on skills. The UK's 79,000 fashion and textiles businesses have joined Skillset's footprint in a move that will give employers a stronger lobbying voice on skills issues for the future.
Skillset already represents the skills needs of more than 500,000 workers. With the addition of fashion and textiles, Skillset's portfolio of industries now contribute £45 billion to the UK economy each year.
