The Textile, Clothing, Leather and Footwear industries are evolving rapidly, driven by digital transformation and sustainability. To stay ahead, professionals in these fields need new skills and innovative training — and that's exactly what the METASKILLS4TCLF Project offers! In this video, we give voice to two professionals who represent the dedication and commitment of the entire team at A. FIÚZA & Irmão, a leading company in the textile and apparel sector, specialized in the production of socks. Through the testimonies of the Commercial Director and a colleague from the Planning Department, we show that this is a constantly evolving industry, deeply focused on innovation, people, and the future.

Testimony from the Commercial Director
He shares the company’s strategic vision, which includes a continuous investment mindset — from the acquisition of cutting-edge equipment and production support programs to digitalization and, most importantly, the valorisation of human resources. There's a strong commitment to training, internal promotion, and the recruitment of talent from diverse fields.

Testimony from a Planning Department Colleague
An inspiring personal journey. She joined the company without prior experience in the sector, starting on the factory floor in the finishing area, folding socks. Soon, she was invited to move into the planning department — a clear example of career progression and internal recognition.

This video proves that the textile and clothing sector remains dynamic, innovative, and full of great opportunities for those looking to build a solid and rewarding career.
