For professional designers and leather technology experts, there’s no dearth of employment in the fast-track footwear (and leather goods) industry. While technical designers are involved with raw material processes, production and research, stylists conceptualise, shape and finish marketable footwear. Both are also much sought after by leather garment production houses and boutiques.
Among the most prominent institutions offering degree and diploma programmes are the Footwear Design and Development Institute, Noida; Central Leather Research Institute, Chennai; Central Footwear Training Institute, Chennai and Agra, National Institute of Fashion Technology, Delhi, Gandhinagar and Chennai; Government Leather Institute, Agra. These postgrad institutions admit science graduates with chemistry as a subject.
With high-end international companies setting up manufacturing and design units in India, the next few years are likely to be exciting for young professionals and designers in this industry.
