About the W4TEX Project

The textile industry is changing rapidly — sustainability, circular economy practices, green technologies, and leadership diversity are reshaping the sector. W4TEX is here to support women professionals, learners, and educators in navigating these transformations.

Through a comprehensive set of online modules and training resources, W4TEX equips participants with the knowledge and skills to advance in management roles, implement sustainable practices, and contribute to a more innovative and inclusive textile industry. Learners can explore topics such as leadership and management skills, raw materials, production processes, green technologies, consumer engagement, and circular economy solutions.

By engaging with W4TEX, participants will be able to:

  • Develop the leadership and management skills needed to take on key roles in textiles
  • Apply sustainable and circular practices across textile processes
  • Access practical tools, real-world examples, and interactive learning materials to enhance professional growth

Whether you are a trainer, a learner, or a professional in the textile sector, W4TEX empowers you to gain expertise, grow your career, and drive positive change in an industry that is both evolving and sustainability-driven.
