PROGRAM

A 3-year apprenticeship program, a hands-on experience covering the entire process of eyewear development.

The three-year course varies widely in style, content and aims according to the professional profiles it is addressed to. Product School apprentices will have the opportunity to get the full picture of each department of the company, deepening all areas of production, from design to development, from prototyping, engineering to industrial production, from demand planning to distribution. The program also includes hands-on experience with sales agents and opticians.

The program also foresees meaningful skill building inspired by principles and values at Safilo.
