A new research center within the Wilson College of Textiles<\/a> will partner cutting-edge academic research with the real-world experience of textile and apparel executives to tackle the industry\u2019s biggest challenges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Fashion and Textile Business Excellence Cooperative<\/a> (FTBEC) provides companies in the textile and apparel industry with consulting services, training opportunities and articles breaking down industry trends from a research perspective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s the brainchild of Professor Ellie Jin<\/a>, who first noticed the need for this type of resource over a decade ago. She says joining the Wilson College provided her with the perfect chance to turn her goals into reality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
