Fashion and Textiles Apprenticeship Programme
Don’t miss the Skillset apprentices in Mary’s Bottom Line, every Thursday at 9pm on Channel 4.
Mary’s apprentices were trained under the Skillset Apprenticeship in Fashion and Textiles, which Fashion Enter is leading on for the country. Skillset also helped with interviewing candidates, advising the manufacturer and brokering their relationship with a training provider.
But you do not need to be the Queen of Shops to benefit from our work! Fashion Enter can advise businesses of all sizes on Apprenticeships as well as linking you with public funding. Plus from April, £1,500 will be available for small creative businesses taking on their first apprentice.
The Workshop has moved!
The Workshop has now closed its doors and we have moved the sampling unit to The Factory and everything else to the Fashion Studio.
The Workshop telephone number is still active: 0208 800 9979
