Mission Statement
To establish a harmonized industry perspective on the demonstrable skills required for professionals who are executing 3D Design & Development work and to support efforts by learners, trainers and educators to upskill the RFA (Retail, Footwear and Apparel) industry for a digital future.

Committee Work:

Workstream 1: 3D Skills Matrix:

Our goal is to establish a common, coalition-endorsed framework for describing the roles & demonstrable skills required among digital product creation professionals in the apparel & footwear industries.

Workstream 2: 3D Apparel & Footwear Leadership & Upskilling:

Our objective is to define the skills and competencies required to lead DPC initiatives and to give leaders the tools they need to successfully implement and grow their teams.

Workstream 3: Technology Vendor Relationship Workstream :

Our aim is to catalog resources for technology partners and educators to ensure the latter have access to educational licenses, can participate in ‘train-the-trainer’ sessions and are able to do so at a cost that is reasonable to both parties.
