In 2020, Moncler s attention to attract, identify
and invest in young talents with a strategical
view to develop the future generation of busi-
ness leaders led to numerous partnerships with
the most important national and international
universities and business schools, as well as
with professional and educational institutions.
Moncler renewed its partnership with the Uni-
versità Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (Milan) for
the master s degree in Luxury Goods Manage-
ment (EMLUX), through which members of
Moncler s management hold courses on om-
nichannel and digital topics, present business
cases, and propose project activities. In 2020
this involved a class of 36 students of 18 dif-
ferent nationalities, who completed a project
on the multi-channel purchasing process to
be presented directly to Moncler management.
Four students were then selected for an intern-
ship so they could continue their experience
within the Group. The partnership will continue
in 2021.
Together with the Ca Foscari University in
Venice, a virtual Meet Up took place in July
2020 with the participation of 70 young stu-
dents and recent graduates.
To access the webinar and interviews with
Moncler s People & Organization function, the
participants had to face a challenge: play the
role of Client Service Advisor, through the pres-
entation of a video explaining their affinities
with Moncler values.
The Strategic Sustainability Plan Moncler Born
to Protect was also the subject matter of pro-
jects with students at various Italian universi-
ties.
Students in the Advanced Marketing Manage-
ment course at LUISS University were involved
in the creation of a marketing strategy and
communications campaign for each of the five
pillars of the Sustainability Plan. The selected
projects were evaluated by the Sustainability
team, which chose the best one for every pil-
lar. In mid-December, the five winning groups
presented their projects directly to Moncler
management.
IED students were also tasked with creating a
marketing strategy and communications plan
with a specific focus on the Warmly Moncler
project, a major component of the circular
economy pillar.
Moncler has continued its long-standing part-
nership with the Bocconi University in Milan,
particularly within the Master programme in
Fashion, Design and Experience of SDA Bocco-
ni School of Management, the undergraduate
course Management of fashion companies, and
the graduate course Value chains and business
models in fashion & luxury. Students in this lat-
ter course developed a competitor analysis of
the fashion industry and the paths followed by
Moncler and its competitors. The groups that
submitted the most thorough, innovative pro-
jects presented them to a jury of Moncler rep-
resentatives during digital meetings.
Again with Bocconi University, Moncler initiat-
ed a digital merchandising research project for
students of the Fashion management course,
with classroom lectures on Moncler Genius
model and the Company s Social Media strat-
egy.
Finally, the Group welcomed some final-year
students of the first undergraduate Digital
Management programme in Italy, offered by
Ca Foscari University in Venice in collabora-
tion with H-Farm.
In Japan the Group strengthened its collabora-
tion with some major universities and business
schools, including the Professional Institute of
International Fashion in Tokyo, Tokyo Seitoku
University, Kyoritsu Women s University in To-
kyo, Temple University in Tokyo, Bunka Fashion
College in Tokyo, and Ueda College of Fashion
in Osaka. These partnerships mostly concerned
fashion retail courses, with the aim of starting
an internship programme at Moncler s most
prominent boutiques. Three virtual internships
were set up at the flagship store in Tokyo s Gin-
za.
The international partnership with Les Roches
International School of Hotel Management in
Crans-Montana, led to hiring a manger in train-
ing at the local flagship store.
In America, the Group collaborates with several
major fashion schools to find potential candi-
dates for Moncler positions, these include: the
LIM College and the Fashion Institute of Tech-
nology in New York. Moncler has also joined the
Handshake community that makes it possible
to get it in contact with thousands of schools
across the United States.
In Europe, career days have been organized
with PSB Paris School of Business, the Institut
Français de la Mode in Paris, EHL, the Glion
Institute of Higher Education, and Les Roch-
es International School of Hotel Management.
At these latter two schools, with the support
of teachers and personnel from Moncler, six
groups of Les Roches students and three
groups of Glion students presented their ideas
for fine-tuning and enriching the Moncler client
experience.
