As part of the training and professional development programmes for young staff in the Group, in December 2010 Laura Lusuardi, Fashion Coordinator of MMFG, held a seminar on the Max Mara product and the history of the company, aimed at young people working in the company as junior and assistant product managers.
The seminar, which started out from the company library and was further developed in the company archives, covered the fundamental stages in the history of our Group, helping participants to learn about all the Brands.

On February 16th 2010 we had our annual meeting with Polimoda Master students in Florence.
The students had an opportunity to become acquainted with our Group by engaging in a direct dialogue with our company experts.
All of the 60 teenagers on the Master courses came to the meeting accompanied by their coordinators, professors and the Headmistress of the school, Linda Loppa, that we would like to thank for the usual warm welcome.
About thirty students applied for a place on our Group’s apprenticeship scheme; we will be holding interviews starting from next week so we can get to know them personally.
