Keep reading...Training and dialogue with schools have always been part of how GSC GROUP do business. For over 50 years, GSC Group has collaborated with educational institutions and local communities to share expertise and support the growth of new generations. “Over time – they explain – we have brought our lectures directly into classrooms and promoted orientation initiatives — offering students concrete opportunities to discover the tanning industry and its potential. Our technicians and specialists actively contribute to education on topics such as finishing and colorimetry, sharing the know-how built within the company. The GSC Academy is the natural evolution of this journey — a meeting point between school and industry, between expertise and the future”.
THE CHALLENGE
Finding qualified young professionals — especially for operational roles in leather chemistry — is increasingly difficult. Growing demand for specialist skills and a shrinking pipeline of new talent are pushing the sector’s average age higher every year.
GSC GROUP ANSWER
The new Innovation Centre — over 6,500 m² — is a dedicated hub for R&D across the leather industry. Here we develop innovative solutions for tanneries, at the intersection of new technologies, emerging trends, and environmental responsibility.
A heartfelt thank you goes to the Distretto Veneto della Pelle, AICC, and all the schools GSC GROUP work with every day — partners who make this shared journey possible.
