The UK Fashion & Textile Association (UKFT) recently announced at a reception at the Houses of Parliament that it has become the sector skills body for the fashion and textiles sector after taking over the management of current apprenticeship frameworks with the responsibility of registration and certification of apprentices in England, Scotland and Wales.

It will also work with devolved nation’s stakeholders to ensure that the national occupational standards and apprenticeship provision for the sector are maintained and developed, according to an UKFT press release.

The responsibility was being handled by Creative Skillset since 2010.

UKFT CEO Adam Mansell welcomed the news, saying industry skills and training are a substantial part of the organisation’s commitment to the sector. (DS)
