The company consludes retraining workers and helping them learn new skills is the only way to save their jobs. With the tagline ‘Empowering garment workers through play’, the project’s objective is to create a learning environment with the help of video games to upskill digitally illiterate garment workers as sewing automation is about to replace the labour. The project is being piloted in factories in Bangladesh and Indonesia in Phase I. Phase II will include New York city. Dominated by women workforce, apparel industry is facing intense pressure of reduced process and faster deliveries. The only way to achieve this is by adoption of technologies like digital patterns and 3D virtual prototyping.
