Two of Australia’s leading educators in fashion, textiles and digital technology — TAFE NSW and the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) — have come together to create a Centre of Excellence in Sustainable Fashion & Textiles. Our mission is to grow the capacity of the Australian fashion industry for a sustainable future.
At the Centre of Excellence, we’re transitioning the Australian fashion sector toward sustainability and Industry 4.0 through education and research.

The Centre of Excellence will educate fashion and textile professionals for these jobs of the future:
Sustainable fashion designers
Sustainability and CSR managers
3D designers, modellers and pattern makers
Zero waste designers
Textile and product designers and engineers
AR/VR experts
Closed-loop designers and engineers.
