Burberry, Rolls-Royce and Church’s at Northampton ‘engagement’ day

16/11/2015
The Institute for Creative Leather Technologies (ICLT) at the University of Northampton will host a fourth Leather Industry Engagement Day on December 2, at the university’s Park Campus. The aim of the event is to highlight to prospective students what the ICLT has referred to as “the varied nature of the leather industry and its applications in a professional setting” and the wide variety of career paths that can open up for students learning about leather.

As well as talks about leather, the event will also include a careers fair, with Rolls-Royce Motors, Church’s and Burberry among the high-end brands taking part.

“We are the only university in Europe to offer a range of academic courses that incorporate leather technology, and the only university with a fully operational teaching tannery and laboratories,” the ICLT said on confirming the date for the 2015 Leather Industry Engagement Day.
