The highly skilled work force in the textile and garment sector is a product both of experience gained through many years of work, and of an education system with a long tradition in Serbia.

The education of textile workers (sewers and technicians) takes place in specialized secondary schools that are equally distributed throughout the country. Examples include the secondary textile school and secondary leather processing school in Belgrade, textile and leather processing school in Sombor, textile school "Branko Radičević" in Ruma, textile technical school "Despot Djurađ" in Smederevo, textile technical school in Paraćin, mechanics and textile school "Sreten Vukosavljević" in Prijepolje, leather processing and trade school "Milutin Bojić", with a textile processing department in Trgoviste near Vranje, textile school in Vranje, two textile schools in Leskovac, textile and leather processing school in Novi Pazar.

Textile engineers are educated in two textile community colleges. The Technical and Textile College in Belgrade opened in 1958, and graduates 50-60 students every year. The faculty provides education to textile engineers in: mechanical textile, textile finishing, ready–made clothes, modeling-construction, textile and garments design, management in textile industry and textile quality. Students graduate with the title Textile Engineer, Ready-Made Garments Engineer, or Design and Textile Modeling Engineer. The Faculty of Technology in Leskovac, which belongs to the University of Niš, started working in 1979 with only two departments: biochemistry and textiles. The 50 students that graduate annually from this faculty earn the title of BS in Textile Engineering.

Design experts are educated in numerous secondary schools, colleges and university faculties.
