The HSBC-AUW School of Apparel and Retail Management — The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC) and The Asian University for Women (AUW) recently yesterday jointly launched the HSBC-AUW School of Apparel and Retail Management and will offer a one-year Master of Science in Apparel and Retail Management programme of international standard — will not only produce women leaders required for the Bangladesh apparel industry but will also help replace thousands of overseas citizens who are now employed in the mid- and top levels positions in various apparel manufacturing units in the country.
This view was reportedly expressed by the participants who came together on the occasion of the launch of the school and share their views during a dialogue in the port city of Chittagong recently.
The discussants, at the dialogue, also reportedly maintained the school would create a home-grown pool of women equipped with the expertise who will lead Bangladesh’s largest export-earning industry in collaboration with the industry and academia of global standards.
