Findings from this study reveal significant collaborative opportunities between industry and academia, identifying and forecasting future skills requirements of the apparel workforce, and developing learning platforms to train employees on future skill needs. As well, findings suggest that sustainable and ethical practices are critical within the emerging technology space, implementation of ethics regarding technology and sustainability as well as policies of accountability will be critical for the future of the apparel industry.
