Learn how the modern fashion industry works. Often times, the sample is created domestically, but the production happens overseas. The technical designer is the liason. They must know how industry-ready products are developed. They must know how to check and correct the fit and details, and adjust the pattern to achieve the right look, with the correct measurements and specifications. They must have an understanding of design, pattern making, fabrication and computers in order to communicate what's needed to make a prototype or production, possibly, across the world.
