With several fashion businesses currently operating without permanent CEOs, Drapers poses a vital and timely question: Where will the next generation of leaders come from? As the industry navigates rapid change and growing complexity, the need for strong, visionary leadership has never been more urgent. In this session, panellists discuss how best to encourage young people into the fashion retail industry, as well as reflect on how entry-level roles and apprenticeship programmes are helping retailers to identify, nurture and retain emerging talent to build a more resilient and future-ready fashion industry.
