The announcement came at a press conference organised by PFI at the Jatiya Press Club in the city Sunday, said a press release. PFI Executive Director Garima Srivastava, and other faculty members and employees of the institute attended the conference.
The four-year courses will include proper curriculum, education system and other salient features of education.
The PFI executive director said that Bangladesh has already emerged as an important country in the ready-made garment (RMG) sector for its high quality and cost effective production.
Skilled workmen, support of governmental and non-government bodies and investment in technology have been instrumental in bringing the industry to this level of success.
However, there has been a gap in availability of skilled local managerial level personnel and design development capabilities.
The youth needed to be equipped to take the challenge to be self-dependent and lead the industry to greater heights, she said.
The PFI had already been able to get recognition in the sector of providing world-class education in fashion design, RMG production and merchandising, she added.
It has got foreign teachers, world-class facilities and state-of-art infrastructure.
The Nottingham Trent University in United Kingdom (UK) certified all graduate courses of the institute.
