The Prada Group celebrated at its Scandicci factory (Florence) the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Prada Group Academy, the Group's craft school that cultivates talent through training. Founded in the early 2000s and gradually structured over the years, the Prada Group Academy represents a strategic pillar of corporate training, offering learning paths in the leather goods, clothing, and footwear sectors at some of the Group's industrial sites in Tuscany, Marche, Veneto, and Umbria.

From 2021 to 2024, they held 29 courses and trained a total of 571 students of 18 different nationalities, with female participation at 69.7%. In 2025, they launched seven training courses and enrolled a total of 152 students (+28% compared to 2024). The heart of the Leather Goods School is the Scandicci factory, one of the Prada Group's main production centers, where they manufacture products for the Prada and Miu Miu brands. Acquired and renovated by the group in 2014, the site has expanded over the years. Today, the hub employs a total of 405 people across its Via Pisana and Via delle Fonti locations, with 67% of its workforce under the age of 35.

The group's industrial strategy for 2025 includes investments of approximately €60 million. Among the most significant projects underway are the construction of a new factory in Piancastagnaio, near Siena; the expansion of the Foiano factory, near Arezzo; the upgrading of the historic Church's factory in Northampton in the UK; and a new knitwear hub in Gubbio, near Perugia.

The Prada Group believes in the importance of directly managing the companies that produce for its brands. In June 2025, the group had a total of 15,433 employees worldwide, of which 4,167 were part of the group's industrial division, accounting for 34% of the total, while 16% of the total worked in the group's corporate division, and the remaining 50% were employed in retail.

“Many managers who do not work in our group are not concerned with the scope of responsibility for the production of their products. When it comes to production, they explain that someone else will take care of manufacturing the products. And this explains why we read certain news about other brands in the newspapers,” commented Lorenzo Bertelli, chief marketing officer, head of corporate social responsibility, Prada Group, and executive chairman, Versace.
