YOUR TALENT PARTNER FOR FASHION, RETAIL AND BEAUTY
For Industry connects specialist education at the Fashion Retail Academy and the London College of Beauty Therapy with employers to develop the talent and skills that fashion, retail and beauty need.
We work in partnership with businesses across our industries, providing access to emerging and graduate talent, sector-specific apprenticeships, professional development, short courses and customised workforce training. Employers can also work directly with our students and academic teams to influence future skills, create meaningful social impact and access insight into the next generation of talent.
From recruiting and developing your people to helping shape the future workforce, we bring education and industry together to help businesses build the skills and capability they need for what comes next.

APPRENTICESHIP PASS RATE
Almost every apprentice who reached End-Point Assessment in 2024/25 achieved a Pass or above.
The relationship we have is fundamental to a lot of our early career recruitment.

APPRENTICES TAUGHT
Since 2017, we've developed more than 1,400 apprentices on our industry-specific programmes.
The apprentices have proven to be a great fit, and it’s added diversity and new energy to the business. The journey they’ve already been on in terms of their confidence feels very exciting, and I’m confident they’re going to have great careers with us.

SOCIAL VALUE
We measure the social and economic impact created through everything we do – in 2023/24, this was calculated at more than £8 of social value generated for every £1 spent.
There seems to be a lot of openness and willingness to change and progress, not just within the company, but the industry is changing and developing in so many ways: it’s the right time to make sure managers are equipped to deal with that change.
