The Japanese automotive industry in search for new textile talents

“We have had this collaboration for 15 years and several of our students have been selected for an internship in Japan. This is a great opportunity for our students to get experience, both of how to pitch their work and ideas and to meet with potential employers,” said Tonje Kristensen Johnstone, Programme Coordinator for the Bachelor of Fine Arts programme in Textile Design.

“We are looking for very creative people and we are very happy because what we are seeing is very promising,” said Rubén Vela Vega, Associate Design Director at Mitsubishi Motors Europe.

The delegation included representatives from Toyota Motor, Daihatsu Motor, Mitsubishi Motors, Tools International, and KUNICO.
