Education
Our schools programme helps local secondary school pupils to build skills and prepare for work. This could
be helping with CV9s, offering mock interview experiences or an insight into the diverse career
opportunities within our business.
Our university programme helps graduates forge lasting links with industry and gain vital commercial
experience. We have developed programmes to connect with national and international further education
students, setting industry specific projects, collaborations and sponsored awards with partner universities
at degree and masters levels.
We support the Worshipful Company of Weavers Textile Conference for 2nd year students, giving an
insight to industry and access to mills, to support student development and forge industry relationships.
We also support their entry to work scheme which offers full time, fully paid employment for new
graduates.
We have strong links with the UK Fashion and Textiles association (UKFT) which is the largest network for
fashion and textile companies in the UK. We bring together designers, manufacturers, suppliers, agents,
educators and retailers to promote their businesses and our industry, both in the UK and throughout the
world.
