Dear all,
Do you want a job in Fashion?
If you reside in the Seven Sisters area of Haringey you can have the opportunity to learn about the world of fashion and if you meet the required standards, can then obtain a job in the industry locally. The programme, entitled "Stitch in Time" is a project supported by the Bridge New Deal for Communities, Haringey Council and the Florentina Clothing Village in Seven Sisters.
The training will take place at Fashion Enter's The Workshop where clients include leading etailer asos.com and top British label Jaeger. Trainees will initially be assessed and if they are suitable will be given two weeks intensive introduction into the fashion industry followed by two weeks work placement with a local garment manufacturer.

Rt. Hon Stephen Timms MP to visit The Workshop
To coincide with the programme the Rt. hon. Stephen Timms MP will be making a special guest appearance to The Workshop and the Florentia Clothing Village on 24th July to review the facilities available.
This level of support demonstrates the potential success this project could bring to the local residents of Haringey. Stitch in Time is set to break the current trend in unemployment by creating fresh opportunities combined with the necessary training to get ahead in the industry.
