the value of kiton excellence is not restricted exclusively to production. in 2000 the neapolitan company launched a training project with the foundation of the school of advanced tailoring, a strategic bridge to the future which, by combining a farsighted approach and necessity, is geared to training new generations of highly qualified tailors. kiton has devised a three-year course with two main aims: to train young people so that they can enter the labour market, and to ensure the constant renewal of the labour force to guarantee kiton’s future and to keep the tradition of neapolitan tailoring alive; the success of the initiative is reflected by the figures related to placements: 80% of the trainees who have gained a diploma have found work either at kiton or at third parties.
