The Finnish Textile & Fashion association conducts at regular intervals a competence survey, in which the competence needs among the association's member companies are mapped. The survey covers also future continuing education needs. The association disseminates the results via the textile academy group to educational institutions and various national foresight working groups. The advisors of the association continuously participate in the education development and quality assurance of the education.

Through the funding of The Service Centre for Continuous Learning and Employment's (SECLE) the association is also enabling several new training programs by Finnish education providers that respond to the training needs pointed out in the overall competence survey and the digital skills survey conducted by the association. These training possibilities will be implemented by 2025.
