“…For example, as a result of stagnating industrial production, engineering and other technical professions suffered a decline in labor demand as well as decreasing pay levels, leading to a loss of prestige for these professions. State universities sought to capitalize on this trend, and, in addition to training professionals for specific industries (e.g., light industry, agriculture, and education), quickly opened new programs offering degrees in the more desirable majors (Filippov, 2005). At the same time, non-state institutions were the first to address the consumer demand for those professions that were becoming more prestigious by offering education for future economists, lawyers, bankers, psychologists, and managers.…”

This qualitative study explored the motivations, goals, and experiences of 25 female apparel majors enrolled at two large Russian universities. Data were collected via in-depth interviews and a demographic questionnaire, and interpreted thematically to explore commonalities and differences across student narratives. Substantial reforms resulting from profound socioeconomic and political changes have affected both higher education and industry in Russia. Based on the analysis of student narratives, three topical areas are used to structure the thematic interpretation and to address key issues stemming from the students' perceptions regarding the relationship between Russian apparel programs and the country's apparel industry. The results establish the significance of apparel programs for facilitating Russian women's career aspirations and have implications for understanding the educational and employment goals of women from an international perspective. Further research is needed to understand the roles these Russian women take on within the industry after graduation.
