Shoemaking Schools In Italy

Italy produces many world-famous ones.

It includes leather shoes and handbags, but the economic recession has made the local shoe industry in a slump, and shoemaking craftsmen have become successors.

In order to reverse the situation, a shoe manufacturer in Italy has started a school to learn to make shoes, attracting young people to shoemaking and providing protection for their future livelihood.

Italy leather shoes are famous for their craftsman skills. This shoe manufacturer set up schools to recruit students to solve the problem of shortage of talents.

As long as they are over 16 years old, they can sign up for schools. Apart from learning to make shoes, students have to attend other courses, including Italian, mathematics and history.

After two years of school courses, the European recognized shoe maker certificate can also be directly incorporated into the company, with a monthly salary of up to 1400 yuan.

The employment rate of young people is currently only 43%, a recent low.

The president of the school said that the company invested $125 thousand a year to run schools, not only for young people to find a way out, but also to boost the local shoe industry.

Many shoe makers have been pulling their production lines out of Europe in recent years because of the recession.

Italy is now the second largest shoe producer in the world after China, with an annual revenue of US $10 billion.
