The United States will invest $ 10 million worldwide to create opportunities in PVH fashion

American fashion company PVH Corp, through the PVH Foundation, has announced a total of $ 10 million in new investments to nonprofits worldwide over the next four years, to support their programming and initiatives linked to the company’s inclusion and diversification priorities. A preliminary list of selected partner companies will raise awareness and access to opportunities in the fashion industry for people from underdeveloped and under-represented communities.

PVH will work with these partners to support high school students’ programming and to train people with ‘unconventional’ backgrounds to find new career opportunities in the fashion industry. High school students from underdeveloped and under-represented communities will be given the opportunity to explore careers in fashion, develop technical skills and participate in mentoring programs. Individuals from the ‘unconventional’ talent pipeline, such as those re-entering the workforce or trying to change careers, post-high school students who are not college graduates, and immigrants will have the opportunity to gain skills-building and practical training. Be prepared for success in the industry, the company said in a media release.
