İHKİB's Activities in Education

The ready-to-wear and apparel sector, which significantly contributes to our country's exports with its value creation, trade surplus, and employment, stands out as one of the most important manufacturing industries in our country.

The Istanbul Apparel Exporters' Association (IHKIB) has been sustaining its position as one of our country's significant organizations for many years with its member count in the ready-to-wear and apparel sector, the total exports made by its members, the designers it introduces to the sector through competitions, reports it prepares, and most importantly, the vision it presents by organizing events to pave the way for the sector.

In line with the vision set by IHKIB, one of the important platforms it brings to the sector to contribute to the personal and corporate development of its members is the training programs, vocational training courses organized to meet the sector's need for intermediate staff, the IHKIB Protocol Schools Project, which is based on the education for production and education within production policy, skill competitions involving VET high school students, the Innovative Idea Marathon, and the graduation ceremony of IHKIB protocol schools, all of which constitute a platform created for continuous education when it comes to the sector, at https://kampus.ihkibev.org.tr/.
