American fashion company PVH Corp, through The PVH Foundation, has announced new investments totalling $10 million over the next four years in global non-profit organisations, to support their programming and initiatives aligned with the company’s Inclusion and Diversity priorities. The initial list of selected partner organisations will increase awareness of and access to opportunities in the fashion industry for individuals from underserved and underrepresented communities.
PVH will work with these partners to support programming for high school students and training for individuals with ‘non-traditional’ backgrounds seeking new career opportunities in the fashion industry. High school students from underserved and underrepresented communities will be provided opportunities to explore careers in fashion, develop technical skills, and participate in mentorship programmes. Individuals from ‘non-traditional’ talent pipelines, such as those re-entering the workforce or seeking a career change, post-high school students who are not college graduates, and immigrants will have the opportunity to leverage skill-building and practical training to prepare for success in the industry, the company said in a media release.
