Membership

Membership in the Regional Skills Partnership does not create any financial or operational obligations.

Organisations joining the Partnership simply express their support for its objectives and their willingness to contribute—within their own capacities and areas of expertise—to activities that promote skills development, lifelong learning, and stronger cooperation between education and industry in the textile, clothing, leather, and footwear sector.
