In this segment, the speaker highlights that roughly 60‑65% of students who began their fashion education in 2019 will graduate into a job market where the positions they trained for no longer exist, a trend that is accelerating. He argues that educators must embed the latest technology and innovation into curricula to prepare students for this shifting landscape. Moreover, he stresses that successful organizations—whether established firms or startups—require a blend of seasoned experience and fresh, tech‑savvy talent. While experienced professionals bring valuable knowledge and wealth, they alone cannot drive growth; likewise, startups full of ideas lack the practical know‑how to thrive. The optimal model is a partnership where experienced staff mentor innovative students, ensuring businesses can adapt and prosper.

60, 65% of graduating students who entered in 2019, those jobs are not going to exist that they came in for. And I think that it's accelerated, but that's kind of always been true. And so we always, as educators, have to have technology in the classroom. We have to be talking about what the newest, most innovative things are. Because to the other point that you made, any of you who work in businesses know that no business can thrive with only— with the older generations, the experienced generations, of which I would count myself in, there's a lot of wealth and knowledge that comes with that, and it's vital to any organization. But no organization can thrive if it's just experience, or it's just new and innovation. That's why we see very often these, some of the startup companies where everyone's got a lot of ideas, but they don't have the experience. The best businesses are building experience with bringing in new students that have the innovation and the technology.
