Design Centre to be launched in Uzbekistan

The main objective of the new centre will be to contribute to achieving these goals, including strengthening human resource capacity, expanding production, and improving the quality of manufactured products.

The center will be created in the format of a leading classic clothe manufacturing factory. This will enable young designers to obtain practical skills that correspond to production demand. In addition, to simplify designers’ work and improve product quality, the ‘Istiqlol Dizayn Markazi’ centre will be equipped with modern equipment, enabling designers to construct new models using computer-aided design systems, 3D simulation and digitizing, while also enabling them to print life-size sketches.

Centre trainees, including graduating students of specialized colleges and universities, will be trained under the guidance of a coach with an international qualification. 48 specialists are expected to be trained every year. Having completed the course, specialists will be able to apply their knowledge and experience either by working at other factories or establishing their own businesses. Approximately 15 talented students will be employed at the ‘Istiqlol Dizayn Markazi’ factory.

Developing the computer-aided design skills of young people, and introducing modern design and technologies, will enhance manufacturing capacity, ensure the growth of the industrial production of textile products, and increase export volumes. The establishment of the design centre will create opportunities to improve the market-demanded skills of young people, particularly those of women, while generating new jobs and improving participant livelihoods.

The centre will be established within the framework of the UNDP and CCI ‘Business Forum of Uzbekistan (Phase 3)’ joint project, with financial support from the ‘Sasol’ representative office in Uzbekistan.
