This workshop addresses the challenges of preparing students for technology-driven roles across a complex global supply chain through a modular supply chain approach that helps students understand and apply AI and emerging technologies, integrate them into innovative and entrepreneurial business models, and translate these concepts into real-world practice. The workshop demonstrates how this approach can be implemented through service learning that connects fashion education to industry and community contexts. The workshop will introduce participants to the full lifecycle of module development and institutional implementation via shared course delivery, while also emphasizing approaches that are transferable to fashion curricula.
