In a medium-sized tannery, you could work as a fur dresser in various departments of the company, including: reception and storage, tanning, fleshing, greasing, wet floor, dry floor, finishing barrels, finishing, taxidermy, and dyeing.
Regardless of the stage of fur conditioning, you will need to secure production, ensuring that operations are carried out in a timely manner to avoid losing part of the production. You will also need to monitor the quality of products throughout the process, troubleshoot production problems, and maintain the tools, equipment, and production machinery. Depending on your level of experience, you may also be required to supervise a work team.
Classic fur valuation is included in the training, along with managing products derived from fur dressing activity. Skin, oils, meat, offal, leather, glands, fur, and collagen are some examples. There is also training on the use of these by-products such as capsules, extracts, granules, accessories, jewelry, flour, fertilizers, etc.
This training is offered in French and English.
