Institut Baix Camp and the El Tomb de Reus association have formalized an agreement to offer a specialization in fashion and accessories within the Commercial Activities vocational degree.

The project, starting next academic year, will offer 31 spots in the afternoon shift. The main goal is to adapt vocational training to the real needs of the Reus commercial sector, fostering a direct connection between classrooms and local shops.
Students will combine theoretical learning with internships at local establishments. During this period, they will train in key areas such as window dressing, visual merchandising, and technical knowledge of materials, fabrics, and pattern making.

"We need people who know the product and know how to convey it to the final customer."

The school's management highlighted that this dual training model will allow young people a smoother transition into the labor market. Meanwhile, the commercial entity noted that this initiative is a necessary response to the current difficulty in finding qualified staff and ensuring generational renewal in the fashion sector.
