Fashion & Textile Apprenticeship Pilot

02/08/2016

Thank you for visiting this page. The Fashion and Textile Apprenticeship Pilot was a great success and we are all very proud of our apprentices who we worked with throughout the pilot and afterwards. Unfortunately, the 'Apprenticeship in Fashion and Textiles' is no longer viable at Coleg Sir Gar so this page will not be updated anymore.

Please feel free to read through what we did over the 18 months and in the year after, as we worked with some fabulous companies who we hope will still thrive in the industry within Wales, alongside their apprentices.

Many thanks,
Apprenticeship Pilot Staff.

Cez is going to love me! I'd like to say huge congratulations to Cerys for passing her apprenticeship level 2 (completed last September but the certificate only came through now) After a year of being my apprentice she now works for me on a part time basis (hopefully full time when I can afford it). Cez is really hard working, talented and a pleasure to work with and she manages to put up with me as her boss...say no more!! THANKS! :)
