Curriculum & Job Profile Published
22 Jan 2024
The TRAMA consortium is pleased to announce that the Curriculum & Job Profile is now available on the TRAMA website.
The TRAMA project emerges as a critical response to the increasing demands for ethical practices within the global fashion industry. Recognizing the pressing need for professionals who can navigate the complexities of sustainability and transparency in fashion, this project seeks to establish a comprehensive job profile and curriculum for a Transparency Manager. This role is designed to spearhead efforts in ensuring sustainable and ethical practices across the fashion value chain.
In an industry as dynamic and influential as fashion, transparency is no longer optional but a necessity. The sector faces mounting scrutiny over its environmental and social impact, including issues like waste generation, pollution, and exploitative labor practices. Transparency in fashion implies a clear understanding and open communication regarding the sourcing, production, and distribution of garments. This approach is pivotal in driving the industry toward more sustainable and ethical practices, ensuring that human rights are upheld, and environmental degradation is minimized.
The primary goal of the TRAMA curriculum and job profile is to equip professionals with the skills and knowledge necessary to transform the fashion industry from the inside out. This initiative will:
Develop a comprehensive understanding of the fashion value chain, focusing on areas critical to fostering sustainability and ethics.
Identify and disseminate best practices in sustainable and ethical fashion, highlighting successful case studies.
Address the skills gap by outlining the necessary competencies for a Transparency Manager, ensuring they can effectively lead and implement change within the industry.
Align with the European Qualification Framework (EQF) to ensure a standardized, high-quality education that is transferable and recognized across the EU.
Contribute to reducing unemployment and raising industry standards by training professionals capable of steering the fashion industry towards more sustainable practices.
