£1m to Save our Skills

The government has given £1m to 'SkillSet'. The money will fund apprenticeship schemes to help raise our falling number of skilled workers within the fashion and textile industry. The apprenticeship will include textile and digital printing, technical textile technician, senior pattern technician and senior tailor.  The scheme will run for three years and the first places are due to be offered in spring next year. The scheme will be over seen by advisory groups from each sector of the creative industries.
