Many of the apparel production and exporting units are recruiting mid-level skilled personnel from foreign shores in a bid to tackle shortage of skilled manpower in Bangladesh.
The rapid and phenomenal rise in clothing exports from the country in recent years, has led to a serious skilled manpower dearth in a sector which accounts for over 80 percent of overall exports from the country.
The absence of trained employees is particularly felt in key areas like production planning and control, quality assurance and inspection, fashion designing, merchandising and many other departments.
